This article introduces an algorithm for implicit High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) of the Bellman equation. This approximation technique reduces memory demands of the algorithm considerably. Moreover, we show that HDMR enables fast approximate minimization which is essential for evaluation of the Bellman function. In each time step, the problem of parametrized HDMR minimization is relaxed into trust region problems, all sharing the same matrix. Finding its eigenvalue decomposition, we effectively achieve estimates of all minima. Their full-domain representation is avoided by HDMR and then the same approach is used recursively in the next time step. An illustrative example of N-armed bandit problem is included. We assume that the newly established connection between approximate HDMR minimization and the trust region problem can be beneficial also to many other applications.
Bellman systems corresponding to stochastic differential games arising from a cost functional which models risk aspects are considered. Here it leads to diagonal elliptic systems without zero order term so that no simple L∞-estimate is available.
