In this paper, we study the optimal control of a discrete-time stochastic differential equation (SDE) of mean-field type, where the coefficients can depend on both a function of the law and the state of the process. We establish a new version of the maximum principle for discrete-time mean-field type stochastic optimal control problems. Moreover, the cost functional is also of the mean-field type. This maximum principle differs from the classical principle one since we introduce new discrete-time mean-field backward (matrix) stochastic equations. Based on the discrete-time mean-field backward stochastic equations where the adjoint equations turn out to be discrete backward SDEs with mean field, we obtain necessary first-order and sufficient optimality conditions for the stochastic discrete mean-field optimal control problem. To verify, we apply the result to production and consumption choice optimization problem.
