Optimal control of mean-field jump-diffusion systems with delay: A stochastic maximum principle approach

This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem under mean-field jump-diffusion systems with delay. Firstly, some existence and uniqueness results are proved for a jump-diffusion mean-field stochastic delay differential equation and a jump-diffusion mean-field advanced backward stochastic differential equation. Then necessary and sufficient maximum principles for control systems of mean-field type and with delay are established under certain conditions. A mean-field, delayed, linear-quadratic control problem is finally discussed using the obtained maximum principles. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
