Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control for Mean-Field Stochastic Differential Equations in Infinite-Horizon with Regime Switching

Abstract: This paper is concerned with stochastic linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problems in an infinite horizon with conditional mean-field term in a switching regime environment. The orthogonal decomposition introduced in [21] has been adopted. Desired algebraic Riccati equations (AREs, for short) and a system of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs, for short) in infinite time horizon with the coefficients depending on the Markov chain have been derived. The determination of closed-loop optimal strategy follows from the solvability of ARE and BSDE. Moreover, the solvability of BSDEs leads to a characterization of open-loop solvability of the optimal control problem.
