Abstract
This paper considers the problem of partially observed optimal control for forward-backward stochastic systems driven by Brownian motions and an independent Poisson random measure with a feature that the cost functional is of mean-field type. When the coefficients of the system and the objective performance functionals are allowed to be random, possibly non-Markovian, Malliavin calculus is employed to derive a maximum principle for the optimal control of such a system where the adjoint process is explicitly expressed. The authors also investigate the mean-field type optimal control problem for the system driven by mean-field type forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) with jumps, where the coefficients contain not only the state process but also its expectation under partially observed information. The maximum principle is established using convex variational technique. An example is given to illustrate the obtained results.
