Mean-field stochastic differential equations driven by sub-diffusions and their control problem
Abstract
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for mean-field stochastic differential equations (MF-SDEs in short) and backward stochastic differential equations (MF-BSDE) driven by anomalous sub-diffusions {BLt; t≥ 0} with random coefficients, respectively. Here B is a Brownian motion on ℝd and L is the inverse of a subordinator S with drift κ>0 that is independent of B. We further study the stochastic maximum principles (SMPs) for control problems of the stochastic systems modelled by the MF-SDEs using a convex variational method. A linear quadratic control example is given in the last section of this paper, for which both the SMP and the sufficient SMP established in this paper are utilized to show explicitly that it admits a unique stochastic optimal control.

Here B is a Brownian motion on ℝ^d and L is the inverse of a subordinator S with drift κ>0 that is independent of B. We further study the stochastic maximum principles (SMPs) for control problems of the stochastic systems modelled by the MF-SDEs using a convex variational method. A linear quadratic control example is given in the last section of this paper, for which both the SMP and the sufficient SMP established in this paper are utilized to show explicitly that it admits a unique stochastic optimal control.
