Quantitative Particle Approximation for Controlled Nonlinear Filtering

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xihao He +1

We estimate convergence rates of value functions for particle approximations of a controlled nonlinear filtering problem. The state is a McKean--Vlasov diffusion on the flat torus,…

A comparison principle for Wasserstein PDEs with state- and law-dependent common noise

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xihao He +1

We prove a comparison principle for a class of second-order Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equations on the Wasserstein space whose second-order term is generated by a general common-no…

Projected McKean--Vlasov Dynamics for Entropic Weak Optimal Transport

Nathan Sauldubois, Xin Zhang

Unlike classical optimal transport, weak transport costs depend nonlinearly on the conditional law of couplings. This feature is essential in problems involving barycenter, conditi…

A PDE approach for regret bounds under partial monitoring

Erhan Bayraktar, Ibrahim Ekren, Xin Zhang

In this paper, we study a learning problem in which a forecaster only observes partial information. By properly rescaling the problem, we heuristically derive a limiting PDE on Was…
