Optimal Stopping with Random Intervention Times
We consider a class of optimal stopping problems where the ability to stop depends on exogenous Poisson signal process – one can only stop at the Poisson jump times. Even though the time variable in these problems has a discrete aspect, a variational inequality can be obtained by considering an underlying continuous time structure. Depending on whether stopping is allowed at t = 0, the value fu...
متن کاملNon Stopping times and Stopping Theorems
Given a random time, we give some characterizations of the set of martingales for which the stopping theorems still hold. We also investigate how the stopping theorems are modified when we consider arbitrary random times. To this end, we introduce some families of martingales with remarkable properties.

متن کاملExplicit solutions to some optimal variance stopping problems
The stopping problem with variance as the optimality criterion is introduced. Due to the variance criterion, smooth fit cannot be applied directly. The problem is solved by embedding it into tractable auxiliary optimal stopping problems, where smooth fit is used to obtain explicit, optimal solutions. Optimal strategies are presented in closed form for several examples. A characteristic feature ...
متن کاملTracking Stopping Times
A novel quickest detection model is proposed which can be seen as a generalization of the Bayesian changepoint setup. Suppose {(Xi, Yi)}i≥1 is a sequence of pairs of random variables, and that S is a stopping time with respect to {Xi}i≥1. The problem is to find a stopping time T with respect to {Yi}i≥1 that optimally tracks S, in the sense that T minimizes the expected reaction time E(T − S), w...
