“…x, from which it can be obtained that the right side of the free boundary is the dividend payout region and the left side is the non-dividend payout region. This is also the key that one can transform the singular control problem on v into an equivalence obstacle problem on its gradient u = v x , see e.g., [2,17,15,14]. However, because the integral term in the equation in our problem is nonlocal, the equation on v xx or its approximation analog to those in [17,15,14] cannot be obtained, which prevents us from deriving the concavity of the solution w.r.t.…”
