This paper presents a state space and time discretization for the general average impulse control of piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDPs). By combining several previous results we show that under some continuity, boundedness and compactness conditions on the parameters of the process, boundedness of the discretizations, and compactness of the state space, the discretized problem will converge uniformly to the original one. An application to optimal capacity expansion under uncertainty is given.

AbstractIn the first part of this paper we study approximations of trajectories of piecewise deterministic processes (PDPs) when the flow is not given explicitly by the thinning method. We also establish a strong error estimate for PDPs as well as a weak error expansion for piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs). These estimates are the building blocks of the multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method, which we study in the second part. The coupling required by the MLMC is based on the thinning procedure. In the third part we apply these results to a two-dimensional Morris–Lecar model with stochastic ion channels. In the range of our simulations the MLMC estimator outperforms classical Monte Carlo.

AbstractWe propose a wide generalization of known results related to the telegraph process. Functionals of the simple telegraph process on a straight line and their generalizations on an arbitrary state space are studied.
