From optimal martingales to randomized dual optimal stopping

چکیده
In this article we study and classify optimal martingales in the dual formulation of stopping problems. respect distinguish between weakly surely martingales. It is shown that family may be quite large. On other hand it Doob-martingale, is, martingale part Snell envelope, a certain sense robust under particular random perturbation. This new insight leads to novel randomized minimization algorithm doesn't require nested simulation. As main feature, possibly large efficiently select as close possible Doob martingale. result, one obtains upper bound for problem with low variance.

Optimal stopping via path-wise dual empirical maximization
The optimal stopping problem arising in the pricing of American options can be tackled by the so called dual martingale approach. In this approach, a dual problem is formulated over the space of martingales. A feasible solution of the dual problem yields an upper bound for the solution of the original primal problem. In practice, the optimization is performed over a finite-dimensional subspace ...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping Problems
In the last lecture, we have analyzed the behavior of TD(λ) for approximating the costtogo function in autonomous systems. Recall that much of the analysis was based on the idea of sampling states according to their stationary distribution. This was done either explicitly, as was assumed in approximate value iteration, or implicitly through the simulation or observation of system trajectories...

These notes are intended to accompany a Graduate course on Optimal stopping, and in places are a bit brief. They follow the book ‘Optimal Stopping and Freeboundary Problems’ by Peskir and Shiryaev, and more details can generally be found there.
متن کاملOptimal Stopping under Ambiguity
We consider optimal stopping problems for ambiguity averse decision makers with multiple priors. In general, backward induction fails. If, however, the class of priors is time–consistent, we establish a generalization of the classical theory of optimal stopping. To this end, we develop first steps of a martingale theory for multiple priors. We define minimax (super)martingales, provide a Doob–M...
