New method solves high-dimensional HJB equations using neural networks

Researchers have developed a novel physics-informed policy iteration method designed to solve high-dimensional Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations, which are crucial in continuous-time stochastic control. This method utilizes a mesh-free neural residual solver for each policy-evaluation step, approximating elliptic PDEs, and then performs policy improvement pointwise using the surrogate gradient. The analysis demonstrates well-posedness for Borel Markov policies and establishes Lipschitz stability for the greedy map, providing a finite-step interior error bound that is influenced by a continuous L^p residual and an attenuated boundary term. Experiments on various test cases, including a 100-dimensional problem, show the method's effectiveness, though limitations related to collocation distribution and gradient determination without boundary data were also identified.
