| Abstract: | The paper deals with value functions for optimal stopping and impulsive control for piecewise-deterministic processes with discounted cost. The associated dynamic programming equations are variational and quasi-variational inequalities with integral and first-order differential terms The technique used is to approximate the value functions for an optimal stopping (impulsive control. switching control) problem for a piecewise-deterministic process by value functions for optimal stopping (impulsive control, switching control) problems for Feller piecewise-deterministic processes |
