Optimal Stopping with Forced Exits

We consider a continuous time optimal stopping problem with multiple entries and forced exits. The value for such an optimization problem with a general payoff function is solved in closed form under the assumption that the state process is a geometric Brownian motion and the forced exits come in according to a Poisson process. The effect due to the forced exits is analyzed. It is shown that th...
