The problems covered are the maximization of survival probability as well as the maximization of dividends in the classical collective risk model. The authors consider the possibility of controlling the risk process by reinsurance as well as by investments. They show that optimal value functions are characterized as either the unique or the smallest viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation; they also study the structure of the optimal strategies and show how to find them. The viscosity approach was widely used in control problems related to mathematical finance but until quite recently it was not used to solve control problems related to actuarial mathematical science. This book is designed to familiarize the reader on how to use this approach. The intended audience is graduate students as well as researchers in this area. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Quantitative Finance,$x2192-7006 606 $aEconomics, Mathematical  606 $aProbabilities 606 $aInsurance 606 $aQuantitative Finance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13062 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aInsurance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/626030 615 0$aEconomics, Mathematical . 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aInsurance. 615 14$aQuantitative Finance. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aInsurance. 676 $a368 700 $aAzcue$b Pablo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0721691 702 $aMuler$b Nora$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299976603321 996 $aStochastic Optimization in Insurance$92540399 997 $aUNINA
