New Actor-Critic Method Solves High-Dimensional PDEs

Researchers have developed a novel actor-critic machine learning algorithm designed to solve complex Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) partial differential equations, which are fundamental in stochastic control theory. This method ensures boundary conditions are perfectly met and uses a biased gradient to reduce computational load. Theoretical analysis shows the algorithm converges to a solution for the stochastic control problem, and numerical studies demonstrate its effectiveness in problems up to 200 dimensions, including those with non-convex Hamiltonians.
