Our study is based on the assumption that an individual’s health status evolves through a semi-Markov process, where the transition probabilities are contingent on both the present state and the duration spent in that state. The optimal form of stock investment and of consumption is determined analytically. The optimal consumption level is significantly shaped by the integration of health-related factors and can be represented as the inverse of the marginal utility function with respect to time and state price density. Additionally, we introduce a Lagrangian multiplier that can be derived by solving a fixed point problem. While our optimal solutions are applicable to a wide range of utility functions, we provide numerical illustrations specifically using the power utility function in a model encompassing three distinct health states. Transition probabilities are estimated from real data collected by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), using a high-order polynomial Perks formula.

The study yields a class of new optical soliton solutions, including bell-shaped, wave, dark, dark-bright, dark, multi-dark, and singular soliton solutions. Three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and contour plots are presented to visually demonstrate the physical implications and dynamic characteristics of the current conformable equation system. Further, an analysis is discussed on how the conformable derivative parameter and the parameter of time impact the present optical solutions, demonstrating the system’s importance.
