Abstract

This Project aims to study the concepts involved in the formulation of a problem of a stochastic problem, its possible applications on solving daily problems and the importance of obtaining stochastic solutions. Due to numerous uses of optimization methods through stochastic control, this project is going to analyze the case of asset and liability management of a pension fund. The techniques used in this analysis, however, can be used to solve many other problems.
