Continuous time mean-variance portfolio optimization through the mean field approach
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 20 (2016), pp. 30-44.

A simple mean-variance portfolio optimization problem in continuous time is solved using the mean field approach. In this approach, the original optimal control problem, which is time inconsistent, is viewed as the McKean–Vlasov limit of a family of controlled many-component weakly interacting systems. The prelimit problems are solved by dynamic programming, and the solution to the original problem is obtained by passage to the limit.
