To address this gap, this study introduces and validates an optimized local linearization hybrid block method (LLHBM). The proposed method uniquely combines Newton-Raphson and Gauss-Siedel-type linearization techniques within a robust framework of the hybrid block methods, integrating linear multistep methods with interpolation and collocation.

The surplus of the insurer and the reinsurer can be allocated to a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset, respectively. The price processes of the insurer's and reinsurer's risky assets satisfy different square root factor processes. To consider the benefits of both the insurer and the reinsurer, the optimization problem is formulated as an asymmetric Nash bargaining game. To maximize the weighted product of the expected exponential utility of the terminal wealth of both parties, explicit expressions for the Pareto-optimal strategy and the corresponding value function are derived by employing stochastic control techniques and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. In addition, we provide equilibrium strategies under several special cases, including cases where only the insurer or the reinsurer is considered, as well as models under the CEV (Constant Elasticity of Variance) model and the Heston stochastic volatility model.

These findings emphasize the need for integrated intervention strategies, especially in light of reinfection cases reported in the literature.
