Mean-Field Backward Stochastic Volterra Integral Equations (1104.4725v2)
Published 25 Apr 2011 in math.PR, cs.SY, and math.OC
Abstract: Mean-field backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (MF-BSVIEs, for short) are introduced and studied. Well-posedness of MF-BSVIEs in the sense of introduced adapted M-solutions is established. Two duality principles between linear mean-field (forward) stochastic Volterra integral equations (MF-FSVIEs, for short) and MF-BSVIEs are obtained. As applications, a multi-dimensional comparison theorem is proved for adapted M-solutions of MF-BSVIEs and a maximum principle is established for an optimal control of MF-FSVIEs.
