Deep Learning Method for Stationary Distribution of Reflected Brownian Motion
Jim Dai, Zhanhao Zhang
Abstract
The stationary distribution of reflected Brownian motion (RBM) plays an important role in the analysis of high-dimensional stochastic systems, yet closed-form solutions are known only for a few special cases. Computing important performance metrics, such as tail probabilities, is even more intractable, despite their practical relevance. In this paper, we develop a deep learning approach that accurately and efficiently learns the Laplace transform of high-dimensional RBMs based on the basic adjoint relationship (BAR). Our framework combines a careful design of the loss function, training data sampling procedure, and neural network architecture. We evaluate the proposed method on RBM instances with known ground-truth tail probabilities and demonstrate near-perfect prediction in high-dimensional settings, highlighting its potential as a general tool for analyzing stochastic systems beyond analytically tractable regimes.
