Extensions of the deep Galerkin method

作者:

Highlights:

• An extension of the deep Galerkin method (DGM) to solve Fokker–Planck PDEs keeping the probability density constraints automatically satisfied.

• A novel application of the policy iteration algorithm (PIA) together with the DGM to solve HJB equations.

• Additional applications to system of coupled HJB equations (arising from stochastic games) and mean-field Game system of PDE (coupled HJB and Fokker Planck).

• Both extensions are applicable to multidimensional PDEs.
