Abstract

In this paper, we study a new class of equations called mean-field backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs, for short) driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 1/2. First, the existence and uniqueness of this class of BSDEs are obtained. Second, a comparison theorem of the solutions is established. Third, as an application, we connect this class of BSDEs with a nonlocal partial differential equation (PDE, for short), and derive a relationship between the fractional mean-field BSDEs and PDEs.
