A level-set approach to the control of state-constrained McKean-Vlasov equations: application to renewable energy storage and portfolio selection

Abstract

We consider the control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics (or mean-field control) with probabilistic state constraints. We rely on a level-set approach which provides a representation of the constrained problem in terms of an unconstrained one with exact penalization and running maximum or integral cost. The method is then extended to the common noise setting. Our work extends (Bokanowski,
