The motivation is a constrained stochastic Riccati equation derived from a stochastic linear quadratic optimal control problem with both Poisson and Markovian jumps. The existence and uniqueness of an adapted solution under global Lipschitz condition on the generator is obtained. The continuous dependence of the solution on parameters is proved. Two comparison theorems are also derived by a generalized Girsanov transformation theorem.","PeriodicalId":49269,"journal":{"name":"Stochastics-An International Journal of Probability and Stochastic Processes","volume":"47 1","pages":"1 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89157940","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}

It has an excellent accuracy, low cost and simple structure. Theoretical results are established to justify the convergence of the algorithm. To confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the present work, the proposed algorithm is used for solving and LSAEs.

Given the current mode, this model allows for either a switch to the other mode or termination of the project, and this happens for both sides of the balance sheet. A novelty in this model is that the related obstacles are nonlinear in the underlying yields, whereas, they are linear in the standard optimal switching problem. The optimal switching problem is formulated in terms of a system of Snell envelopes for the profit and cost yields which act as obstacles to each other. We prove the existence of a continuous minimal solution of this system using an approximation scheme and fully characterize the optimal switching strategy.","PeriodicalId":49269,"journal":{"name":"Stochastics-An International Journal of Probability and Stochastic Processes","volume":"1 1","pages":"604 - 622"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2014-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91112916","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}
