We propose a simple and original approach for solving linear-quadratic mean-field stochastic control problems. We study both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon problems, and allow notably some coefficients to be stochastic. Our method is based on a suitable extension of the martingale formulation for verification theorems in control theory. The optimal control involves the solution to a system of Riccati ordinary differential equations and to a linear mean-field backward stochastic differential equation, existence and uniqueness conditions are provided for such a system. Finally, we illustrate our results through two applications with explicit solutions: the first one deals with a portfolio liquidation problem with trade crowding, and the second one considers an economic model of substitutable production goods.

  1. Convergence Rates of Time Discretization in Extended Mean Field Control

    math.OC 2025-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For linear-convex extended mean field control, piecewise constant controls approximate the optimal cost at rate 1/2 and the optimal control at rate 1/4; under smoothness, the rate improves to 1.

  2. A new probabilistic approach for mean field games of optimal stopping

    math.PR 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Randomized mean-field equilibria of optimal-stopping games are characterized by a coupled reflected McKean–Vlasov forward-backward SDE system whose survival process L is an endogenous part of the solution.
