Functional SDE approximation inspired by a deep operator network architecture

A novel approach to approximate solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) by Deep Neural Networks is derived and analysed. The architecture is inspired by the notion of Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets), which is based on operator learning in function spaces in terms of a reduced basis also represented in the network. In our setting, we make use of a polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) of stochastic processes and call the corresponding architecture SDEONet. The PCE has been used extensively in the …
