Impulse control of multidimensional jump diffusions in finite time horizon

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper analyzes a class of impulse control problems for multi-dimensional jump diffusions in the finite time horizon. Following the basic mathematical setup from Stroock and Varadhan cite{StroockVaradhan06}, this paper first establishes rigorously an appropriate form of Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP). It then shows that the value function is a viscosity solution for the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Belleman (HJB) equation involving integro-differential operators. Finally, under additional assumptions that the jumps are of infinite activity but are of finite variation and that the diffusion is uniformly elliptic, it proves that the value function is the unique viscosity solution and has Wloc(2,1),p regularity for 1<p<infty


The paper deals with the finite time horizon impulse control problems for \(n\)-dimensional diffusion processes defined by a stochastic differential equation with jumps. The main difficulty in this kind of problems comes from the associated nonlocal operator, which is much more difficult to analyze by using the standard PDE tools. Here, it is shown that the value function is a viscosity solution which is very useful for the HJB equation, and one proves the regularity of the unique viscosity solution.
