Abstract
This paper presents a survey on some of the recent progress on numerical solutions for controlled switching diffusions. We begin by recalling the basics of switching diffusions and controlled switching diffusions. We then present regular controls and singular controls. The main objective of this paper is to provide a survey on some recent advances on Markov chain approximation methods for solving stochastic control problems numerically. A number of applications in insurance, mathematical biology, epidemiology, and economics are presented. Several numerical examples are provided for demonstration.
期刊介绍:
Numerical Algebra, Control and Optimization (NACO) aims at publishing original papers on any non-trivial interplay between control and optimization, and numerical techniques for their underlying linear and nonlinear algebraic systems. Topics of interest to NACO include the following: original research in theory, algorithms and applications of optimization; numerical methods for linear and nonlinear algebraic systems arising in modelling, control and optimisation; and original theoretical and applied research and development in the control of systems including all facets of control theory and its applications. In the application areas, special interests are on artificial intelligence and data sciences. The journal also welcomes expository submissions on subjects of current relevance to readers of the journal. The publication of papers in NACO is free of charge.
