Using structural assumptions on the finitely based approximations, rates for the approximation error of the cost can be obtained. Our algorithm significantly reduces the computational complexity of finding controls with asymptotically optimal cost. Numerical experiments using artificial neural networks as well as radial basis function networks illustrate the performance of our algorithm. Our approach can also be applied to stochastic control problems for high dimensional stochastic differential equations and more general stochastic partial differential equations.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.11926v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.11926v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"neural-network-approximation-of-optimal","repo_url":"https://github.com/avoglertu/sfb910feedback","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
