We study a stochastic control problem for nonlinear systems governed by stochastic differential equations with irregular drift. The drift coefficient is assumed to decompose as $b(t,x,a)=b_1(t,x)+b_2(x)b_3(t,a)$, where $b_1$ is bounded and…

This study considers an optimal reinsurance, investment, and dividend strategy control problem for insurance companies in a regulated Markov regime-switching environment, intending to maximize long-run average reward. Unlike existing single…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal strategies of dividend and reinsurance under the Cram\'{e}r-Lundberg risk model embedded with the thinning-dependence structure which was firstly introduced by Wang and Yuen (2005),…

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 consider an optimal dividend payout problem for an insurance company whose surplus follows the classical Cram\'er-Lundberg model. The dividend rate is subject to a ratcheting constraint (i.e., it must be nondecreasing over time), and the…

We pose the decumulation strategy for a Defined Contribution (DC) pension plan as a problem in optimal stochastic control. The controls are the withdrawal amounts and the asset allocation strategy. We impose maximum and minimum constraints…

We study an optimal investment control problem for an insurance company. The surplus process follows the Cramer-Lundberg process with perturbation of a Brownian motion. The company can invest its surplus into a risk free asset and a…

We study the optimal excess-of-loss reinsurance problem when both the intensity of the claims arrival process and the claim size distribution are influenced by an exogenous stochastic factor. We assume that the insurer's surplus is governed…

The optimization criterion for dividends from a risky business is most often formalized in terms of the expected present value of future dividends. That criterion disregards a potential, explicit demand for stability of dividends. In…
