In this paper, we formulate a general time-inconsistent stochastic linear--quadratic (LQ) control problem. The time-inconsistency arises from the presence of a quadratic term of the expected state as well as a state-dependent term in the objective functional. We define an equilibrium, instead of...

A continuous-time financial portfolio selection model with expected utility maximization typically boils down to solving a (static) convex stochastic optimization problem in terms of the terminal wealth, with a budget constraint. In literature the latter is solved by assuming {\it a priori} that...

We study portfolio selection in a complete continuous-time market where the preference is dictated by the rank-dependent utility. As such a model is inherently time inconsistent due to the underlying probability weighting, we study the investment behavior of sophisticated consistent planners who...

In this paper, we continue our study on a general time-inconsistent stochastic linear-quadratic (LQ) control problem originally formulated in Hu, Jin and Zhou (2012). We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for equilibrium controls via a flow of forward-backward stochastic differential...
