Suppose that the manager of the company has time-inconsistent preference, which can be described by a quasi-hyperbolic discount function. The value of the company is measured by the expected discounted dividend payments minus the expected discounted costs of capital injection. The goal is to find out the optimal strategies for maximizing the value of the company. By using the stochastic control techniques, we solve the problems in all cases of time-consistent preference manager, naive manager and sophisticated manager, respectively. The closed-form solutions of the value functions are presented. Our results show that the sophisticated manager is inclined to pay out dividends earlier than the naive manager, time-inconsistent preference manager is more likely to pay dividends in advance than time-consistent preference manager. Furthermore, we provide some numerical analysis to reveal the sensitivity of the optimal dividend strategies to the dependence intensity and the cost of capital injection. The results show that, as the cost of capital injection increases, sophisticated manager will give up capital injection first, followed by naive manager. In addition, we also find that: when the cost of capital injection is low, managers think that the value of the company that undertakes two kinds of insurance with high correlation is higher; while, managers have opposite evaluations, when the cost of capital injection is high.","PeriodicalId":48889,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Control and Related Fields","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81375275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on the position of the system is available for observations and only a part of system's parameters can be measured. The case of measuring all phase coordinates is also presented. The measurements are continuous and the data obtained in them are noisy. The considered problem is ill-posed and, to solve it, we use the method of dynamic inversion. It is based on regularization methods and constructions of positional control theory. In particular, we use the Tikhonov regularization method also known as the smoothing functional method and the Krasovskii extremal aiming method. The approach to estimating an unknown input implies introducing an auxiliary system (a model) with an appropriate rule of forming a control. The proposed estimation algorithm gives approximations of an unknown input and is stable under informational noises and computational errors. As an example illustrating the elaborated technique, a biological model of human immunodeficiency virus disease is used for simulation. The simulation results demonstrate the importance of the approach to on-line estimating unobservable parameters in real processes.","PeriodicalId":48889,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Control and Related Fields","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81490518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use an SIQR epidemic model describing transmission, isolation via quarantine, and vaccination for diseases to which immunity is long-lasting. Assuming that mass vaccination is not available to completely eliminate the disease in a time horizon of interest, we provide feedback control laws that drive the disease to an endemic equilibrium. We prove the input-to-state stability (or ISS) robustness property on the entire state space, when the immigration perturbation is viewed as the uncertainty. We use an ISS Lyapunov function to derive the feedback control laws. A key ingredient in our analysis is that all compartment variables are present not only in the Lyapunov function, but also in a negative definite upper bound on its time derivative. We illustrate the efficacy of our method through simulations, and we discuss the usefulness of parameters in the controls. Since the control laws are feedback, their values are updated based on data acquired in real time. We also discuss the degradation caused by the delayed data acquisition occurring in practical implementations, and we derive bounds on the delays under which the ISS property is ensured when delays are present.","PeriodicalId":48889,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Control and Related Fields","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78067332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since these mappings are not necessarily Gâteaux-differentiable, the application of standard adjoint calculus is excluded.

This so-called universal separating vector lemma is used, together with packages of convex control perturbations, to derive a Pontryagin maximum principle for optimal sampled-data control problems with nonsmooth Mayer cost function.
