A note on linearization methods and dynamic programming principles for stochastic discontinuous control problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the linear programming approach to stochastic control introduced in [6] and [10], we provide a semigroup property for some set of probability measures leading to dynamic programming principles for stochastic control problems. An abstract principle is provided for general bounded costs. Linearized versions are obtained under further (semi)continuity assumptions.

Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Markov Chains for Optimal Sustainable Control of the Forest Sector with Continuous Cover Forestry
We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...
متن کاملA Defined Benefit Pension Fund ALM Model through Multistage Stochastic Programming
We consider an asset-liability management (ALM) problem for a defined benefit pension fund (PF). The PF manager is assumed to follow a maximal fund valuation problem facing an extended set of risk factors: due to the longevity of the PF members, the inflation affecting salaries in real terms and future incomes, interest rates and market factors affecting jointly the PF liability and asset p...
متن کاملRobust inter and intra-cell layouts design model dealing with stochastic dynamic problems
In this paper, a novel quadratic assignment-based mathematical model is developed for concurrent design of robust inter and intra-cell layouts in dynamic stochastic environments of manufacturing systems. In the proposed model, in addition to considering time value of money, the product demands are presumed to be dependent normally distributed random variables with known expectation, variance, a...
متن کاملDynamic Multi Period Production Planning Problem with Semi Markovian Variable Cost (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper develops a method for solving the single product multi-period production-planning problem, in which the production and the inventory costs of each period arc concave and backlogging is not permitted. It is also assumed that the unit variable cost of the production evolves according to a continuous time Markov process. We prove that this production-planning problem can be Stated as a ...
متن کاملLinearization Techniques for L∞-Control Problems and Dynamic Programming Principles in Classical and L∞-Control Problems
The aim of the paper is to provide a linearization approach to the L∞-control problems. We begin by proving a semigroup-type behaviour of the set of constraints appearing in the linearized formulation of (standard) control problems. As a byproduct we obtain a linear formulation of the Dynamic Programming Principle. Then, we use the L approach and the associated linear formulations. This seems t...
