Abstract
Motivated by a control problem of a certain queueing network we consider a control problem where the dynamics is constrained in the nonnegative orthant of the -dimensional Euclidean space and controlled by the reflections at the faces/boundaries. We define a discounted value function associated to this problem and show that the value function is a viscosity solution to a certain HJB equation in with nonlinear Neumann type boundary condition. Under certain conditions, we also characterize this value function as the unique solution to this HJB equation.
