Dividend Payments with a Threshold Strategy in a Markov-Dependent Risk Model

In this paper,a Markov-dependent risk model with a threshold strategy is considered. The expected discounted dividend payments satisfy some integro-differential equations. The analytical solutions to these systems are given. Finally,some numerical exam-ples in some special cases are provided.

Some optimal dividend problems for a surplus process with interest

We derive some results on the dividend payments prior to ruin in the classical surplus process with interest.An integro-differential equation with a boundary conditions satisfied by the expected present value of dividend payments is derived and solved.Furthermore,we derive an integro-differential equation for the moment generating function,through which we analyze the higher moment of the present value of dividend payments.Finally,closed-form expressions for exponential claims are given.

OPTIMAL PROPORTIONAL REINSURANCE WITH CONSTANT DIVIDEND BARRIER

In this article, we consider an optimal proportional reinsurance with constant dividend barrier. First, we derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation satisfied by the expected discounted dividend payment, and then get the optimal stochastic control and the optimal constant barrier. Secondly, under the optimal constant dividend barrier strategy, we consider the moments of the discounted dividend payment and their explicit expressions are given. Finally, we discuss the Laplace transform of the time of ruin and its explicit expression is also given.

Dividend Maximization when Cash Reserves Follow a Jump-diffusion Process

This paper deals with the dividend optimization problem for an insurance company, whose surplus follows a jump-diffusion process. The objective of the company is to maximize the expected total discounted dividends paid out until the time of ruin. Under concavity assumption on the optimal value function, the paper states some general properties and, in particular, smoothness results on the optimal value function, whose analysis mainly relies on viscosity solutions of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman （HJB） equations. Based on these properties, the explicit expression of the optimal value function is obtained. And some numerical calculations are presented as the application of the results.

The Perturbed Compound Poisson Risk Model with Proportional Investment

In this paper, the insurance company considers venture capital and risk-free investment in a constant proportion. The surplus process is perturbed by diffusion. At first, the integro-differential equations satisfied by the expected discounted dividend payments and the Gerber-Shiu function are derived. Then, the approximate solutions of the integro-differential equations are obtained through the sinc method. Finally, the numerical examples are given when the claim sizes follow different distributions. Furthermore, the errors between the explicit solution and the numerical solution are discussed in a special case.

Some Results behind Dividend Problems

We consider the basic dividend problem of the compound Poisson model with constant barrier strategy. Some results concealed behind the dividend problem are made explicit in the present work. Different methods and some of which are firstly given in this paper. All these results presented certain direct relationship between some important actuary variables in classical risk theory is also revealed.

The Phase-type Risk Model Perturbed by Diffusion under a Threshold Dividend Strategy

This paper considers a perturbed renewal risk process in which the inter-claim times have a phasetype distribution under a threshold dividend strategy. Integro-differential equations with certain boundary conditions for the moment-generating function and the ruth moment of the present value of all dividends until ruin are derived. Explicit expressions for the expectation of the present value of all dividends until ruin are obtained when the claim amount distribution is from the rational family. Finally, we present an example.

Absolute Ruin Problems for the Risk Processes with Interest and a Constant Dividend Barrier

In this paper, the absolute ruin in the compound Poisson risk model with interest and a constant dividend barrier is investigated. First, integro-differential equations satisfied by the expected discounted dividend payments are derived. The explicit expressions are obtained when the individual claim size is exponential distributed. Second, the moment generating function of the discounted dividends is considered, and integro-differential equations satisfied by the moment generating function of the discounted dividends are derived. Third, by a ＂differential＂ argument, the time to recovery to zero from a given negative surplus is considered. Finally, how long it takes for the surplus process to reach the dividend barrier is discussed.

A Diffusion Model for Optimal Dividend Payment and Risk Control for a Firm under Consideration of the Time Value of Ruin

In this paper,we investigate a model for an insurance company with constraint on risk control.The objective of the insurer is to find a business policy and a dividend payment scheme so as to maximize the expected discounted value of dividend payment,and the expected present value of an amount which the insurer earns until the time of ruin.By solving the constrained Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation,we obtain the explicit expression for value function and the corresponding optimal strategies.

The Optimal Policy for Insurance Company Under Consideration of Internal Competition and the Time Value of Ruin

This paper considers the dividend optimization problem for an insurance company under the consideration of internal competition between different units inside the company. The objective is to find a reinsurance policy and a dividend payment scheme so as to maximize the expected discounted value of the dividend payment, and the expected present value of an amount which the insurer earns until the time of ruin. By solving the corresponding constrained Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman （HJB） equation, we obtain the value function and the optimal reinsurance policy and dividend payment.
