We study a simple singular control problem for a Brownian motion with constant drift and variance reflected at the origin. Exerting control pushes the process towards the origin and generates a concave increasing state-dependent yield which…
We establish a systematic solution method for optimal stopping problems of spectrally negative L\'evy processes. Our approach relies essentially on the potential theory, in particular the Riesz decomposition and the maximum principle. Using…
We consider an optimal dividend problem with transaction costs where the surplus is modelled by a spectrally negative L\'evy process in an Omega model. n this model, the surplus is allowed to spend time below the critical ruin level, but is…
In this paper, we study the optimal control problem for a company whose surplus process evolves as an upward jump diffusion with random return on investment. Three types of practical optimization problems faced by a company that can control…

Stochastic optimal control problems have a long tradition in applied probability, with the questions addressed being of high relevance in a multitude of fields. Even though theoretical solutions are well understood in many scenarios, their…
We present a new approach to fluctuation identities for reflected L\'{e}vy processes with one-sided jumps. This approach is based on a number of easy to understand observations and does not involve excursion theory or It\^{o} calculus. It…
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical technique which allows us to express the joint distribution of a Markov process and its running maximum (or minimum) through the marginal distribution of the process itself. This technique is an…
In this paper we propose and solve an optimal dividend problem with capital injections over a finite time horizon. The surplus dynamics obeys a linearly controlled drifted Brownian motion that is reflected at the origin, dividends give rise…
We consider in this paper the optimal dividend problem for an insurance company whose uncontrolled reserve process evolves as a classical Cram\'{e}r--Lundberg process. The firm has the option of investing part of the surplus in a…

In this paper, we consider the mixed ratcheting-periodic dividend strategies for spectrally negative L\'{e}vy risk model, in which dividend payments can both be made continuously without falling and discretely at the jump times of an…
We provide, in a general setting, explicit solutions for optimal stopping problems that involve diffusion process and its running maximum. Our approach is to use the excursion theory for Levy processes. Since general diffusions are, in…
In this paper we continue investigating the optimal dividend and investment problems under the Sparre Andersen model. More precisely, we assume that the claim frequency is a renewal process instead of a standard compound Poisson process,…
In this paper we study a spectrally negative L\'{e}vy process that is reflected at its draw-down level whenever a draw-down time from the running supremum arrives. Using an excursion-theoretical approach, for such a reflected process we…
We consider de Finetti's stochastic control problem for a spectrally negative L\'evy process in an Omega model. In such a model, the (controlled) process is allowed to spend time under the critical level but is then subject to a…
We consider De Finetti's control problem for absolutely continuous strategies with control rates bounded by a concave function and prove that a generalized mean-reverting strategy is optimal. In order to solve this problem, we need to deal…
Optimal dividend strategy in dual risk model is well studied in the literatures. But to the best of our knowledge, all the previous works assumes deterministic interest rate. In this paper, we study the optimal dividends strategy in dual…

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…
