Popis: This paper considers a nonlinear mean field social optimization problem which aims to minimize a social cost. By use of a finite player model, we apply dynamic programming to formalize a person-by-person (PbP) optimality condition in a feedback form. This procedure leads to a new Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation which involves differentiation with respect to probability measure and is called the master equation of social optimization. For the linear-quadratic (LQ) case, an explicit solution of the master equation is obtained.
