Deep Neural Network Solution for Finite State Mean Field Game with Error Estimation

Abstract

We discuss the numerical solution to a class of continuous time finite state mean field games. We apply the deep neural network (DNN) approach to solving the fully coupled forward and backward ordinary differential equation system that characterizes the equilibrium value function and probability measure of the finite state mean field game. We prove that the error between the true solution and the approximate solution is linear to the square root of DNN loss function. We give an example of applying the DNN method to solve the optimal market making problem with terminal rank-based trading volume reward.
