We introduce a numerical method to solve stochastic optimal control problems, which are linear in the control. We facilitate the idea of solving two-point boundary value problems with spline functions in order to solve the resulting dynamic programming equation. We then show how to effectively...

This paper considers a class of optimal control problems that allows jumps in the state variable. We present the necessary optimality conditions of the Impulse Control Maximum Principle based on the current value formulation. By reviewing the existing impulse control models in the literature, we...
