An implicit method for the finite time horizon Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman quasi-variational inequalities

Abstract: We propose a new numerical method for solving the Hamilton-JacobiBellman quasi-variational inequality associated with the combined impulse and stochastic optimal control problem over a finite time horizon. Our method corresponds to an implicit method in the field of numerical methods for partial differential equations, and thus it is advantageous in the sense that the stability condition is independent of the discretization parameters. We apply our method to the finite time horizon optimal forest harvesting pr… Show more

“…We formulate our execution problem as a combined stochastic control problem over a finite time horizon. The corresponding HJBQVI is solved numerically using a scheme similar to that proposed by Ieda [Ied13]. The performance criterion is used to maximize the terminal wealth including the terminal execution.…”

“…The goal of this section is to derive the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman quasi-variational inequality (HJBQVI). In Section 3, we present a numerical method for solving the HJBQVI, following a similar procedure to that found in [Ied13]. The HJBQVI is discretized by a finite difference scheme and is converted to an equivalent fixed point problem.…”

“…In water resources management, Unami and Mohawesh [25] proved unique existence of a viscosity solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation appearing in a stochastic DP problem for reservoir operation. Ieda [18] dealt with the HJB quasi-variational inequality (QVI) associated with the combined impulse and stochastic optimal control problem over a finite time horizon, applying it to an optimal forest harvesting problem. Some types of control problems for discrete-time decision processes including the one discussed here have continuous-time counterparts which can be regarded as impulse control problems [4].…”

“…We refer the detail of the method to solve the fixed point problem to Ieda [6] and references therein. Solving the fixed point problem (10) by this method, we obtain the optimal strategy as a Markov strategy, i.e., l = l(t, x) and ζ = ζ(t, x).…”
