Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a combined singular control problem with discretionary stopping for geometric Brownian motions. By the method of penalization, we solve the degenerate variational inequality associated with this problem. Its solution $v$ coincides with the value function and, by the concavity of $v$, an optimal control is shown to exist.
