This paper considers an insurance company that faces two key constraints: a ratcheting dividend constraint and an irreversible reinsurance constraint. The company allocates part of its reserve to pay dividends to its shareholders while…
We show that non-dominated sorting of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables in Euclidean space has a continuum limit that corresponds to solving a Hamilton-Jacobi equation involving the probability density function of the random variables.…
This paper is about operator-theoretic methods for solving nonlinear stochastic optimal control problems to global optimality. These methods leverage on the convex duality between optimally controlled diffusion processes and…
We continue the study of the homogenization of coercive non-convex Hamilton-Jacobi equations in random media identifying two general classes of Hamiltonians with very distinct behavior. For the first class there is no homogenization in a…
We present a proof of qualitative stochastic homogenization for a nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The new idea is to introduce a family of "sub-equations" and to control solutions of the original equation by the maximal subsolutions of…

We consider continuous-state and continuous-time control problems where the admissible trajectories of the system are constrained to remain on a union of half-planes which share a common straight line. This set will be named a junction. We…
This work is concerned with Hamilton-Jacobi equations of evolution type posed in domains and supplemented with boundary conditions. Hamiltonians are coercive but are neither convex nor quasiconvex. We analyse boundary conditions when…
Many imaging problems can be formulated as inverse problems expressed as finite-dimensional optimization problems. These optimization problems generally consist of minimizing the sum of a data fidelity and regularization terms. In [23,26],…
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…
The paper studies a system of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations with discontinuous coefficients, arising from a model of deterministic optimal debt management in infinite time horizon, with exponential discount and currency devaluation.…

This paper investigates a Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) analysis to solve finite-horizon optimal control problems for high-dimensional systems. Although grid-based methods, such as the level-set method [1], numerically solve a general class of HJ…
We introduce a notion of state-constraint viscosity solutions for one dimensional \junction"-type problems for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with non convex coercive Hamiltonians and study its well- posedness and stability properties. We show…
We investigate in this work a fully-discrete semi-Lagrangian approximation of second order possibly degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations on a bounded domain with oblique boundary conditions. These equations appear naturally in…
This paper is concerned with the axiomatic foundation and explicit construction of a general class of optimality criteria that can be used for investment problems with multiple time horizons, or when the time horizon is not known in…
We provide a stochastic representation for a general class of viscous Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations, which has convexity and superlinear nonlinearity in its gradient term, via a type of backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) with…

We study an optimal dividend problem under a bankruptcy constraint. Firms face a trade-off between potential bankruptcy and extraction of profits. In contrast to previous works, general cash flow drifts, including Ornstein--Uhlenbeck and…
In this article, we study the large time behavior of solutions of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi Equations, set in a bounded domain with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions, including the case of dynamical boundary conditions. We establish…
