TitleDeep learning algorithms with iteration policy for the nonlinear BSPDEs
Abstract

In this talk, I will present the recent work on the deep learning algorithms for solving the nonlinear backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs). In particular we focus on continuous-time optimal investment (utility maximization) under the rough volatility models which are non-Markovian. The optimal value is expressed by a nonlinear BSPDE. The deep learning algorithms with iteration policy are proposed to solve the nonlinear BSPDE and analyzed in regards to the convergence.
