“…The probabilistic formulation represents an optimal control α ⋆ ∈ H 2 (R k ) as α ⋆ t = α(t, X α ⋆ t , L X α ⋆ t , Y α ⋆ t , Z α ⋆ ) for dt ⊗ dP-a.e., with α being the pointwise minimizer of an associated Hamiltonian H, and (X α ⋆ , Y α ⋆ , Z α ⋆ ) being the solution to a coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) depending on α. The coupled FBSDE can be solved by first representing the solution in terms of grid functions [6,42], binomial trees [6] or neural networks [25,20,27], and then employing regression methods to obtain the optimal approximation. Similarly, the deterministic formulation represents an optimal feedback control φ ⋆ as φ ⋆ (t, x) = ᾱ(t, x, µ ⋆ t , (∇ x v)(t, x), (Hess x v)(t, x)) for all (t, x) ∈ [0, T ] × R d .…”
