deep splitting method
Full error analysis of the random deep splitting method for nonlinear parabolic PDEs and PIDEs with infinite activity
Neufeld, Ariel, Schmocker, Philipp, Wu, Sizhou
In this paper, we present a randomized extension of the deep splitting algorithm introduced in [Beck, Becker, Cheridito, Jentzen, and Neufeld (2021)] using random neural networks suitable to approximately solve both high-dimensional nonlinear parabolic PDEs and PIDEs with jumps having (possibly) infinite activity. We provide a full error analysis of our so-called random deep splitting method. In particular, we prove that our random deep splitting method converges to the (unique viscosity) solution of the nonlinear PDE or PIDE under consideration. Moreover, we empirically analyze our random deep splitting method by considering several numerical examples including both nonlinear PDEs and nonlinear PIDEs relevant in the context of pricing of financial derivatives under default risk. In particular, we empirically demonstrate in all examples that our random deep splitting method can approximately solve nonlinear PDEs and PIDEs in 10'000 dimensions within seconds.
Deep Neural Network Algorithms for Parabolic PIDEs and Applications in Insurance Mathematics
In recent years a large literature on deep learning based methods for the numerical solution partial differential equations has emerged; results for integro-differential equations on the other hand are scarce. In this paper we study deep neural network algorithms for solving linear and semilinear parabolic partial integro-differential equations with boundary conditions in high dimension. To show the viability of our approach we discuss several case studies from insurance and finance.
Deep splitting method for parabolic PDEs
Beck, Christian, Becker, Sebastian, Cheridito, Patrick, Jentzen, Arnulf, Neufeld, Ariel
In this paper we introduce a numerical method for parabolic PDEs that combines operator splitting with deep learning. It divides the PDE approximation problem into a sequence of separate learning problems. Since the computational graph for each of the subproblems is comparatively small, the approach can handle extremely high-dimensional PDEs. We test the method on different examples from physics, stochastic control, and mathematical finance. In all cases, it yields very good results in up to 10,000 dimensions with short run times.
