| 2025 | Consensus Based Stochastic Optimal ControlabstractWe propose a gradient-free deep reinforcement learning algorithm to solve high-dimensional, finite-horizon stochastic control problems. Although the recently developed deep reinforcement learning framework has achieved great success in solving these problems, direct estimation of policy gradients from Monte Carlo sampling often suffers from high variance. To address this, we introduce the Momentum Consensus-Based Optimization (M-CBO) and Adaptive Momentum Consensus-Based Optimization (Adam-CBO) frameworks. These methods optimize policies using Monte Carlo estimates of the value function, rather than its gradients. Adjustable Gaussian noise supports efficient exploration, helping the algorithm converge to optimal policies in complex, nonconvex environments. Numerical results confirm the accuracy and scalability of our approach across various problem dimensions and show the potential for extension to mean-field control problems. Theoretically, we prove that M-CBO can converge to the optimal policy under some assumptions. Liyao Lyu, Jingrun Chen |
