On optimal control of reflected diffusions
Adam Jonsson
We study a simple singular control problem for a Brownian motion with constant drift and variance reflected at the origin. Exerting control pushes the process towards the origin an…
Infinite utility: counterparts and ultimate locations
Adam Jonsson
The locations problem in infinite ethics concerns the relative moral status of different categories of potential bearers of value, the primary examples of which are people and poin…
A New Model for the Distribution of Observable Earthquake Magnitudes and Applications to -value Estimation
Jesper Martinsson, Adam Jonsson
The -value in the Gutenberg-Richter (GR) law contains information that is essential for evaluating earthquake hazard and predicting the occurrence of large earthquakes. Estimate…
An axiomatic approach to Markov decision processes
Adam Jonsson
This paper presents an axiomatic approach to finite Markov decision processes where the discount rate is zero. One of the principal difficulties in the no discounting case is that,…
On g-functions for countable state subshifts
Adam Jonsson
This note revisits the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a subshift to have a continuous g-function. Results obtained by Krieger (IMS Lecture Notes-Monogra…
