Risk-Sensitive Dividend Problems

open access: yes, 2014
We consider a discrete-time version of the popular optimal dividend pay-out problem in risk theory. The novel aspect of our approach is that we allow for a risk averse insurer, i.e., instead of maximising the expected discounted dividends until ruin we ...

A Fenchel-Moreau-Rockafellar type theorem on the Kantorovich-Wasserstein space with Applications in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes

open access: yes, 2019
By using the fact that the space of all probability measures with finite support can be somehow completed in two different fashions, one generating the Arens-Eells space and another generating the Kantorovich-Wasserstein (Wasserstein-1) space, and by ...

Average optimality for continuous-time Markov decision processes in polish spaces

open access: yes, 2006
This paper is devoted to studying the average optimality in continuous-time Markov decision processes with fairly general state and action spaces. The criterion to be maximized is expected average rewards.

Convergence of The Relative Value Iteration for the Ergodic Control Problem of Nondegenerate Diffusions under Near-Monotone Costs

open access: yes, 2013
We study the relative value iteration for the ergodic control problem under a near-monotone running cost structure for a nondegenerate diffusion controlled through its drift.

On gradual-impulse control of continuous-time Markov decision processes with multiplicative cost

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we consider the gradual-impulse control problem of continuous-time Markov decision processes, where the system performance is measured by the expectation of the exponential utility of the total cost. We prove, under very general conditions

On loss-avoiding lump-sum pension optimization with contingent targets

open access: yes, 2011
Consider a lump-sum pension fund problem, in which an agent deposits an amount with a fund manager up front and is later repaid a lump sum x(T) after time T.
