More Information
  • This paper considers a linear-quadratic (LQ) mean-field game governed by a forward-backward stochastic system with partial observation and common noise, where a coupling structure enters state equations, cost functionals and observation equations. Firstly, to reduce the complexity of solving the mean-field game, a limiting control problem is introduced. By virtue of the decomposition approach, an admissible control set is proposed. Applying a filter technique and dimensional-expansion technique, a decentralized control strategy and a consistency condition system are derived, and the related solvability is also addressed. Secondly, we discuss an approximate Nash equilibrium property of the decentralized control strategy. Finally, we work out a financial problem with some numerical simulations.

    Highlights

    • The large-population system is governed by an FBSDE with partial observation, which plays a vital role in both theoretical research and practical application
    • By virtue of optimal Filter technique, decomposition technique and dimensional-expansion technique, we get a decentralized control strategy, which is an approximate Nash equi- librium of the mean-field game
    • This work significantly improves the description and resolution of mean-field game with partial observation. In addition, this work compensates for the deficiencies and aws,and the results obtained are more elaborate and rigorous than some existing works
