چکیده

We derive closed-form solutions to optimal stopping problems related the pricing of perpetual American withdrawable standard and lookback put call options in an extension Black-Merton-Scholes model with asymmetric information. It is assumed that contracts are withdrawn by their writers at last hitting times for underlying risky asset price its running maximum or minimum over infinite time interval which not respect observable filtration. show exercise first process reaches some lower upper stochastic boundaries depending on current values minimum. The proof based reduction original necessarily two-dimensional associated free-boundary means smooth-fit normal-reflection conditions. prove maximal minimal first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations.

Discounted optimal stopping for maxima in diffusion models with finite horizon∗

We present a solution to some discounted optimal stopping problem for the maximum of a geometric Brownian motion on a finite time interval. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial optimal stopping problem with the continuation region determined by an increasing continuous boundary surface to a parabolic free-boundary problem. Using the change-of-variable formula with local time on ...

Of Minima and Maxima

Let h1, · · · , hn be positive integers. We study new sums m(h1, · · · , hn) = h1−1 ∑ r1=0 · · · hn−1 ∑ rn=0 min { r1 h1 , · · · , rn hn } and M(h1, · · · , hn) = h1−1 ∑ r1=0 · · · hn−1 ∑ rn=0 max { r1 h1 , · · · , rn hn } , the first of which times h1 · · ·hn is the number of lattice points in a pyramid of dimension n + 1. We show that m(h1, · · · , hn) (h1 − 1) · · · (hn − 1) = 1 + ∑ ∅6 =I⊆{1...

Discounted optimal stopping for maxima of some jump-diffusion processes∗

We present closed form solutions to some discounted optimal stopping problems for the maximum process in a model driven by a Brownian motion and a compound Poisson process with exponential jumps. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial problems to integro-differential freeboundary problems where the normal reflection and smooth fit may break down and the latter then be replaced by ...

Optimal stopping with private information

Many economic situations are modeled as stopping problems. Examples are timing of market entry decisions, search, and irreversible investment. We analyze a principalagent problem where the principal and the agent have di erent preferences over stopping rules. The agent privately observes a signal that in uences his own and the principal's payo . Based on his observation the agent decides when t...

Optimal 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...
