Optimizing expected utility of dividend payments for a Cram\'er-Lundberg risk proces
We consider the problem of maximizing the discounted utility of dividend payments of an insurance company whose reserves are modeled as a classical Cram\'er-Lundberg risk process. We investigate this optimization problem under the constraint that dividend rate is bounded. We prove that the value function fulfills the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and we identify the optimal dividend strategy.
