We assume that dividends are paid to the shareholders according to admissible strategies whose dividend rate is bounded by a constant. The objective is to find a dividend policy so as to maximize the expected discounted value of dividends which are paid to the shareholders until the company is ruined. In this paper, we show that a threshold strategy （also called refraction strategy） forms an optimal strategy under the condition that the Levy measure has a completely monotone density.展开更多
The authors prove some monotonicity properties of functions involving the generalized Agard distortion function ηg（a,t）, and obtain some inequalities for ηk（a, t） and relative distortion functions.
