Singular Control of (Reflected) Brownian Motion: A Computational Method Suitable for Queueing Applications

19 Dec 2023  ·  Baris Ata, J. Michael Harrison, Nian Si ·

Motivated by applications in queueing theory, we consider a class of singular stochastic control problems whose state space is the d-dimensional positive orthant. The original problem is approximated by a drift control problem, to which we apply a recently developed computational method that is feasible for dimensions up to d=30 or more. To show that nearly optimal solutions are obtainable using this method, we present computational results for a variety of examples, including queueing network examples that have appeared previously in the literature.
