TL;DR
This work tackles robust data-driven arbitrage in high-dimensional time series by proposing HRDNN, which couples the Ridgelet Transform with deep neural networks to approximate robust super-replication prices under an ambiguity set $\\mathcal{P}$. It introduces a penalized functional $\\mathcal{X}_{B,L,k}$ and proves its convergence to the target value, then shows that HRDNN, under Lipschitz and boundedness constraints, can densely approximate admissible trading strategies via ridgelet components. A key result is that, by discretizing the terminal state via finite partitions $\\mathcal{F}_i$, HRDNN can approximate conditional expectations and robust arbitrage prices with provable convergence to $\\mathcal{X}_{B,L}(\\Phi,\\sigma(S_{t_n}))$. Empirically, HRDNN with various activations outperforms traditional buy-and-hold and LP-based methods across up to 50 assets, including during market stress, underscoring its scalability and practical utility for data-driven, high-dimensional arbitrage detection. These findings suggest that Ridgelet-enabled neural architectures can robustly exploit complex market structures while maintaining stability under uncertainty.
Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel model framework that integrates deep neural networks with the Ridgelet Transform. The Ridgelet Transform on Borel measurable functions is used for arbitrage detection on high-dimensional sparse structures. This transform also enhances the expressive power of neural networks, enabling them to capture complex and high-dimensional market structures. Theoretically, we determine profitable trading strategies by optimizing hybrid ridgelet deep neural networks. Further, we emphasize the role of activation functions in ensuring stability and adaptability under uncertainty. We use a high-performance computing cluster for the detection of arbitrage across multiple assets, ensuring scalability, and processing large-scale financial data. Empirical results demonstrate strong profitability across diverse scenarios involving up to 50 assets, with particularly robust performance during periods of market volatility.
