A Capped Optimal Stopping Problem for the Maximum Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns an optimal stopping problem driven by the running maximum of a spectrally negative Lévy process X. More precisely, we are interested in capped versions of the American lookback optimal stopping problem (Gapeev in J. Appl. Probab. 44:713–731, 2007; Guo and Shepp in J. Appl. Probab. 38:647–658, 2001; Pedersen in J. Appl. Probab. 37:972–983, 2000), which has its origins in mathematical finance, and provide semi-explicit solutions in terms of scale functions. The optimal stopping boundary is characterised by an ordinary first-order differential equation involving scale functions and, in particular, changes according to the path variation of X. Furthermore, we will link these capped problems to Peskir’s maximality principle (Peskir in Ann. Probab. 26:1614–1640, 1998).

Optimal Stopping Policy for Multivariate Sequences a Generalized Best Choice Problem
In the classical versions of “Best Choice Problem”, the sequence of offers is a random sample from a single known distribution. We present an extension of this problem in which the sequential offers are random variables but from multiple independent distributions. Each distribution function represents a class of investment or offers. Offers appear without any specified order. The objective is...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping of the Maximum Process: The Maximality Principle
where S = (St)t 0 is the maximum process associated with the one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusion X = (Xt)t 0 , the function x 7! c(x) is positive and continuous, and the supremum is taken over all stopping times of X for which the integral has finite expectation. It is proved, under no extra conditions, that this problem has a solution, i.e. the payoff is finite and there is an optimal s...
متن کاملAn Introduction to a New Criterion Proposed for Stopping GA Optimization Process of a Laminated Composite Plate
Several traditional stopping criteria in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are applied to the optimization process of a typical laminated composite plate. The results show that neither of the criteria of the type of statistical parameters, nor those of the kinds of theoretical models performs satisfactorily in determining the interruption point for the GA process. Here, considering the configuration of ...
متن کاملStopping at the Maximum of Geometric Brownian Motion When Signals Are Received
Consider a geometric Brownian motion Xt(ω) with drift. Suppose that there is an independent source that sends signals at random times τ1 < τ2 < · · · . Upon receiving each signal, a decision has to bemade as towhether to stop or to continue. Stopping at time τ will bring a reward Sτ , where St = max(max0≤u≤t Xu, s) for some constant s ≥ X0. The objective is to choose an optimal stopping time to...
