Plain stopping time and conditional complexities revisited
In this paper we analyze the notion of “stopping time complexity”, the amount of information needed to specify when to stop while reading an infinite sequence. This notion was introduced by Vovk and Pavlovic [8]. It turns out that plain stopping time complexity of a binary string x could be equivalently defined as (a) the minimal plain complexity of a Turing machine that stops after reading x o...
متن کاملPathwise Optimization for Optimal Stopping Problems
W introduce the pathwise optimization (PO) method, a new convex optimization procedure to produce upper and lower bounds on the optimal value (the “price”) of a high-dimensional optimal stopping problem. The PO method builds on a dual characterization of optimal stopping problems as optimization problems over the space of martingales, which we dub the martingale duality approach. We demonstrate...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping Under Ambiguity In Continuous Time
We develop a theory of optimal stopping problems under ambiguity in continuous time. Using results from (backward) stochastic calculus, we characterize the value function as the smallest (nonlinear) supermartingale dominating the payoff process. For Markovian models, we derive an adjusted Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation involving a nonlinear drift term that stems from the agent’s ambiguity ave...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping Problems for Time-Homogeneous Diffusions: a Review
The first part of this paper summarises the essential facts on general optimal stopping theory for time-homogeneous diffusion processes in R. The results displayed are stated in a little greater generality, but in such a way that they are neither too restrictive nor too complicated. The second part presents equations for the value function and the optimal stopping boundary as a free-boundary (S...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping of Markov Chain and Three Abstract Optimization Problems
There is a well known connection between three problems related to Optimal Stopping of Markov Chain and the equality of three corresponding indices: the classical Gittins index in the Ratio Maximization Problem, the Kathehakis-Veinot index in a Restart Problem, and Whittle index in a family of Retirement Problems. In [13] these three problems and these three indices were generalized in such a w...
