This paper is concerned with a mean-field type optimal control problem, whose new features are that the state $x^v_t$ is partially observed by a noisy process $y(t)$, and the control problem is time inconsistent in the sense that Bellman optimality principle does not work. A necessary condition for optimality is derived by convex variation, dual technique and backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). A linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control example is studied, and the optimal solution is obtained by the optimal filtering for BSDEs and the necessary condition.

Keywords: filtering., LQ control, necessary condition, correlated state and observation noises, Mean-field control.
