  • Abstract
    We consider a mutual insurance system whose reserve is determined by a Brownian motion. The controller tries to minimize the total cost by increase or reduce the reserve instantly. Both cases of zero and positive fixed cost are investigated. By applying the theory of stochastic control with QVI approach, we make the connection between singular control and impulse control. The procedures to solve these systems are also presented in this paper.
