Popis: We consider the impulse control of Levy processes under the infinite horizon, discounted cost criterion. Our motivating example is the cash management problem in which a controller is charged a fixed plus proportional cost for adding to or withdrawing from his/her reserve, plus an opportunity cost for keeping any cash on hand. Our main result is to provide a verification theorem for the optimality of control band policies in this scenario. We also analyze the transient and steady-state behavior of the controlled process under control band policies and explicitly solve for the optimal policy in the case in which the Levy process to be controlled is the sum of a Brownian motion with drift and a compound Poisson process with exponentially distributed jump sizes.
