We analyze the optimal dividend payment problem in the dual model under constant transaction costs. We show, for a general spectrally positive L\'{e}vy process, an optimal strategy is given by a $(c_1,c_2)$-policy that brings the surplus…

We characterize the optimal control for a class of singular stochastic control problems as the unique solution to a related Skorokhod reflection problem. The considered optimization problems concern the minimization of a discounted cost…

This paper considers a portfolio optimization problem in which asset prices are represented by SDEs driven by Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure, with drifts that are functions of an auxiliary diffusion 'factor' process. The…

In this paper we investigate an optimal dividend problem with transaction costs, where the surplus process is modelled by a refracted L\'evy process and the ruin time is considered with Parisian delay. Presence of the transaction costs…

We propose a model in which, in exchange to the payment of a fixed transaction cost, an insurance company can choose the retention level as well as the time at which subscribing a perpetual reinsurance contract. The surplus process of the…
