Stochastic Stability and Optimal Control of Semi-Markov Risk Processes in Insurance Mathematics

  • Chapter
Semi-Markov Models and Applications

Abstract

We study semi-Markov risk processes which describe a dynamic of summary capital of an insurance company. The theorems on stability, asymptotic and exponential stability of zero state of the processes with probability 1 are proved. We also investigate the optimal stochastic control of the controlled semi-Markov processes. The Bellman equation for semi-Markov risk processes is derived. Analogue of Dynkin formulae and boundary value problem for semi-Markov random evolutions, and properties of the respected stochastic Liapunov functions are used.
