Continuity Properties of Optimal Multiple Stopping Value

This article is concerned with the optimal multiple stopping problem for discrete time finite stage stochastic processes. We study lower semicontinuity and continuity properties of optimal stopping values with respect to the topology of convergence in distribution. Also, we formulate the multiple stopping version of the prophet inequality for the optimal stopping problem and apply the lower semicontinuity property of optimal stopping values to the prophet inequality for the optimal multiple stopping problem.     

Approximation of optimal stopping problems

We consider optimal stopping of independent sequences. Assuming that the corresponding imbedded planar point processes converge to a Poisson process we introduce some additional conditions which allow to approximate the optimal stopping problem of the discrete time sequence by the optimal stopping of the limiting Poisson process. The optimal stopping of the involved Poisson processes is reduced to a differential equation for the critical curve which can be solved in several examples. We apply this method to obtain approximations for the stopping of iid sequences in the domain of max-stable laws with observation costs and with discount factors.     

Optimal Stopping Problem with a Vector-Valued Reward Function

In this note, using the well-known method of scalarization, we give an explicit characterization of the Pareto optimal stopping time for a vector-valued optimal stopping problem with only two reward functions. The present problem is a natural generalization of the classical McDonald-Siegel optimal stopping problem.     

Representation results for jump processes with application to optimal stopping

It is shown that functions, measurable on the past of a jump process up to a stopping time, can be expressed as functions of the jump times and jump locations up to the stopping time. These results lead to formulas for conditional expectations with respect to the past of the process up to the stopping time. The use of these results is illustrated in giving a sufficient condition for optimality for optimal stopping of a partially observed jump Markov process.     

Randomized stopping games and Markov market games

We study nonzero-sum stopping games with randomized stopping strategies. The existence of Nash equilibrium and ɛ-equilibrium strategies are discussed under various assumptions on players random payoffs and utility functions dependent on the observed discrete time Markov process. Then we will present a model of a market game in which randomized stopping times are involved. The model is a mixture of a stochastic game and stopping game.

Optimal stopping of a Brownian bridge with an unknown pinning point

The problem of stopping a Brownian bridge with an unknown pinning point to maximise the expected value at the stopping time is studied. A few general properties, such as continuity and various bounds of the value function, are established. However, structural properties of the optimal stopping region are shown to crucially depend on the prior, and we provide a general condition for a one-sided stopping region. Moreover, a detailed analysis is conducted in the cases of the two-point and the mixed Gaussian priors, revealing a rich structure present in the problem.     

A leavable bounded-velocity stochastic control problem

This paper studies bounded-velocity control of a Brownian motion when discretionary stopping, or ‘leaving’, is allowed. The goal is to choose a control law and a stopping time in order to minimize the expected sum of a running and a termination cost, when both costs increase as a function of distance from the origin. There are two versions of this problem: the fully observed case, in which the control multiplies a known gain, and the partially observed case, in which the gain is random and unknown. Without the extra feature of stopping, the fully observed problem originates with Beneš (Stochastic Process. Appl. 2 (1974) 127–140), who showed that the optimal control takes the ‘bang–bang’ form of pushing with maximum velocity toward the origin. We show here that this same control is optimal in the case of discretionary stopping; in the case of power-law costs, we solve the variational equation for the value function and explicitly determine the optimal stopping policy.We also discuss qualitative features of the solution for more general cost structures. When no discretionary stopping is allowed, the partially observed case has been solved by Beneš et al. (Stochastics Monographs, Vol. 5, Gordon & Breach, New York and London, pp. 121–156) and Karatzas and Ocone (Stochastic Anal. Appl. 11 (1993) 569–605). When stopping is allowed, we obtain lower bounds on the optimal stopping region using stopping regions of related, fully observed problems.

Risk-sensitive stopping problems for continuous-time Markov chains

In this paper we consider stopping problems for continuous-time Markov chains under a general risk-sensitive optimization criterion for problems with finite and infinite time horizon. More precisely our aim is to maximize the certainty equivalent of the stopping reward minus cost over the time horizon. We derive optimality equations for the value functions and prove the existence of optimal stopping times. The exponential utility is treated as a special case. In contrast to risk-neutral stopping problems it may be optimal to stop between jumps of the Markov chain. We briefly discuss the influence of the risk sensitivity on the optimal stopping time and consider a special house selling problem as an example.

We generalize the framework of [18] for optimal stopping time problem to allow a certain restricted class of stopping times. By using classical results in probability theory on families of random variables indexed by a restricted family of stopping times, we prove the existence of an optimal time, givecharacterizations of the minimal and maximal optimal stopping times, and provide some local properties of the value function family, in concert with all special cases studied previously.     

Explicit solutions in one-sided optimal stopping problems for one-dimensional diffusions

Consider the optimal stopping problem of a one-dimensional diffusion with positive discount. Based on Dynkin's characterization of the value as the minimal excessive majorant of the reward and considering its Riesz representation, we give an explicit equation to find the optimal stopping threshold for problems with one-sided stopping regions, and an explicit formula for the value function of the problem. This representation also gives light on the validity of the smooth-fit (SF) principle. The results are illustrated by solving some classical problems, and also through the solution of: optimal stopping of the skew Brownian motion and optimal stopping of the sticky Brownian motion, including cases in which the SF principle fails.     

An optimal stopping problem for fragmentation processes

In this article we consider a toy example of an optimal stopping problem driven by fragmentation processes. We show that one can work with the concept of stopping lines to formulate the notion of an optimal stopping problem and moreover, to reduce it to a classical optimal stopping problem for a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process associated with Bertoin’s tagged fragment. We go on to solve the latter using a classical verification technique thanks to the application of aspects of the modern theory of integrated exponential Lévy processes.

Optimal stopping problem in a model with compensated refusal of reward

We consider the optimal stopping problem with a possible compensated refusal of reward. We discuss functionals of exponential Brownian motion. The optimal stopping time is defined on the set of all finite stopping times. The functionals under consideration correspond to payments for standard American options.     

Monotone stopping rules forstochastic processes in a semimartingale representation with applications

A monotone stopping problem is considered for stochastic processes in a semimartingale representation. Such a representation allows a direct infinitesimal characterization of the optimal stopping time. Transformations of such processes are investigated, which leave the semimartingale property unchanged. One of these transformations is a change of tiltration which leads to the stopping problem with partial information. Findly an application is discussed.
