We study mean-variance hedging under portfolio constraints in a general semi-martingale model. The constraints are formulated via predictable correspondences,meaning that the trading strategy is restricted to lie in a closed convex set whichmay depend on the state and time in a predictable way....

It is well known that mean-variance portfolio selection is a time-inconsistent optimalcontrol problem in the sense that it does not satisfy Bellman’s optimalityprinciple and therefore the usual dynamic programming approach fails. We developa time-consistent formulation of this problem, which...
