FlowKac: An Efficient Neural Fokker-Planck solver using Temporal Normalizing flows and the Feynman Kac-Formula

Solving the Fokker-Planck equation for high-dimensional complex dynamical systems remains a pivotal yet challenging task due to the intractability of analytical solutions and the limitations of traditional numerical methods. In this work, we present FlowKac, a novel approach that reformulates the Fokker-Planck equation using the Feynman-Kac formula, allowing to query the solution at a given point via the expected values of stochastic paths. A key innovation of FlowKac lies in its adaptive stochastic sampling scheme which significantly reduces the computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy. This sampling technique, coupled with a time-indexed normalizing flow, designed for capturing time-evolving probability densities, enables robust sampling of collocation points, resulting in a flexible and mesh-free solver. This formulation mitigates the curse of dimensionality and enhances computational efficiency and accuracy, which is particularly crucial for applications that inherently require dimensions beyond the conventional three. We validate the robustness and scalability of our method through various experiments on a range of stochastic differential equations, demonstrating significant improvements over existing techniques.
