In this paper, we are concerned with an optimal control problem where the system is driven by fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation of mean-field type with risk-sensitive performance functional. We study the risk-neutral model for which an optimal solution exists as a preliminary step. This is an extension of the initial stochastic control problem in this type of risk-sensitive performance problem, where an admissible set of controls are convex. We establish necessary as well as sufficient optimality conditions for the risk-sensitive performance functional control problem. Finally, we illustrate our main result of this paper by giving two examples of risksensitive control problem under linear stochastic dynamics with exponential quadratic cost function, the second example will be a mean-variance portfolio with a recursive utility functional optimization problem involving optimal control. The explicit expression of the optimal portfolio selection strategy is obtained in the state feedback.

In this paper, we are concerned with an optimal control problem where the system is driven by a backward doubly stochastic differential equation with risk-sensitive performance functional. We generalized the result of Chala [A. Chala, Pontryagin’s risk-sensitive stochastic maximum principle for backward stochastic differential equations with application, Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N. S.) 48 2017, 3, 399–411] to a backward doubly stochastic differential equation by using the same contribution of Djehiche, Tembine and Tempone in [B. Djehiche, H. Tembine and R. Tempone, A stochastic maximum principle for risk-sensitive mean-field type control, IEEE Trans. Automat. Control 60 2015, 10, 2640–2649]. We use the risk-neutral model for which an optimal solution exists as a preliminary step. This is an extension of an initial control system in this type of problem, where an admissible controls set is convex. We establish necessary as well as sufficient optimality conditions for the risk-sensitive performance functional control problem. We illustrate the paper by giving two different examples for a linear quadratic system, and a numerical application as second example.

In this paper, we investigate the optimal control problems for stochastic differential equations (SDEs in short) of mean-field type with jump processes. The control variable is allowed to enter into both diffusion and jump terms. This stochastic maximum principle differs from the classical one in the sense that here the first-order adjoint equation turns out to be a linear mean-field backward SDE with jumps, while the second-order adjoint equation remains the same as in Tang and Li's stochastic maximum principle [32]. Finally, for the reader's convenience we give some analysis results used in this paper in the Appendix.
