Abstract

In this paper we study the problem of optimal impulse control for stochastic systems with delay in the case when the value function of the impulse problem depends only on the initial data of the given process through its initial value (value at zero) and some weighted averages. A verification theorem for such impulse control problem is given. As an example the optimal stream of dividends with transaction costs is solved.
