Abstract: | This paper is concerned with the optimal stopping problem for discrete time multiparameter stochastic processes with the index set Nd. The optimal stopping value of a discrete time multiparameter integrable stochastic process whose negative part is uniformly integrable, is lower semicontinuous for the topology of convergence in distribution. The multiparameter version of prophet inequality for the one-parameter optimal stopping problem is formulated and the lower semicontinuity property of the optimal stopping value is applied to the multiparameter prophet inequality. |
