Optimization and Control 2023-11-28 v2

Abstract

This paper aims to extend the BML method proposed in Wang et al. [22] to make it applicable to more general coupled nonlinear FBSDEs. We interpret BML from the fixed-point iteration perspective and show that optimizing BML is equivalent to minimizing the distance between two consecutive trial solutions in a fixed-point iteration. Thus, this paper provides a theoretical foundation for an optimization-based approach to solving FBSDEs. We also empirically evaluate the method through four numerical experiments.
