In insurance mathematics, optimal control problems over an infinite time horizon arise when computing risk measures. An example of such a risk measure is the expected discounted future dividend payments. In models which take multiple economic factors into account, this problem is high-dimensional. The solutions to such control problems correspond to solutions of deterministic semilinear (degenerate) elliptic partial differential equations. In the present paper we propose a novel deep neural network algorithm for solving such partial differential equations in high dimensions in order to be able to compute the proposed risk measure in a complex high-dimensional economic environment. The method is based on the correspondence of elliptic partial differential equations to backward stochastic differential equations with unbounded random terminal time. In particular, backward stochastic differential equations—which can be identified with solutions of elliptic partial differential equations—are approximated by means of deep neural networks.

In this work, we will show existence of weak solution for a semilinear elliptic problem using as main tool the Browder-Minty Theorem. First, we will make a brief introduction about basic theory of the Sobolev Spaces to support our study and provide sufficient tools for the development of our work. Then we will take a quick approach on the Browder-Minty Theorem and use this result to show the existence of at least one weak solution to an elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDE) problem whose nonlinearity, denoted by f, is a known function. For this, in addition to the already mentioned results, we will also use as study tools: Embedding Sobolev Theorems, Linear Continuous Operators Theory, Poincaré Inequality and Hölder Inequality.
