Threshold dynamics and optimal control on an age-structured SIRS epidemic model with vaccination
We consider a vaccination control into a age-structured susceptible-infective-recovered-susceptible (SIRS) model and study the global stability of the endemic equilibrium by the iterative method. The basic reproduction number $ R_0 $ is obtained.

Uniqueness Results for Second Order Bellman-Isaacs Equations under Quadratic Growth Assumptions and Applications [PDF]
In this paper, we prove a comparison result between semicontinuous viscosity sub and supersolutions growing at most quadratically of second-order degenerate parabolic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman and Isaacs equations.

Agents' Behavior and Interest Rate Model Optimization in DeFi Lending
ABSTRACT Contrasting sharply with traditional money, bond, and bond futures markets, where interest rates emerge organically from participant interactions, DeFi lending platforms employ rule‐based interest rates that are algorithmically set. Thus, the selection of an effective interest rate model (IRM) is paramount for the success of a lending protocol.

Macroscopic Market Making Games
ABSTRACT Building on the macroscopic market making framework as a control problem, this paper investigates its extension to stochastic games. In the context of price competition, each agent is benchmarked against the best quote offered by the others. We begin with the linear case.

We study the optimal investment strategies of DC pension, with the stochastic interest rate (including the CIR model and the Vasicek model) and stochastic salary. In our model, the plan member is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset, a zero-coupon bond,

A General Dynamic Programming Approach to the Optimal Water Storage Management for Irrigation
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a dynamic programming approach targeted to solve a natural resource problem of water storage management for irrigation in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. The problem we address in our formulation, focusing on the control of water storage in tanks, is based on assumptions that are less restrictive than those

A Semi-Linear Backward Parabolic cauchy Problem with Unbounded Coefficients of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Type and Applications to optimal control [PDF]
We obtain weighted uniform estimates for the gradient of the solutions to a class of linear parabolic Cauchy problems with unbounded coefficients. Such estimates are then used to prove existence and uniqueness of the mild solution to a semi-linear ...

Portfolio Optimization for Pension Purposes: Literature Review
ABSTRACT This systematic review identifies persistent challenges and gaps in the literature on pension portfolio optimization models. We searched, selected, and critically analyzed 82 articles from three major academic databases published over the past decade to investigate the barriers to the effective implementation of these models.

The properties of a minimax piecewise smooth solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation are studied. It is known the Rankine–Hugoniot conditions are necessary and sufficient conditions for the points of nondifferentiability (singularity) of the ...

On the Provision of International Public Goods in Dynamic Open Economies
ABSTRACT This study develops a dynamic two‐country model with an international public good, the stock of which positively affects the productivity of the private‐goods sectors in each country, and the evolution of the stock is determined by each country's voluntary contribution in the form of public investment. Two scenarios are examined: A cooperative
