We reformulate the problem into a deterministic control problem with marginal distribution as controlled state variable, and prove that dynamic programming principle holds in its general form. We apply our method for solving explicitly the mean-variance portfolio selection and the multivariate linear-quadratic McKean-Vlasov control problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-30T12:40:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "discrete time mckean-vlasov control problem", "dynamic programming approach", "multivariate linear-quadratic mckean-vlasov control problem", "stochastic optimal control problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151109273P" } } }
