Explicit 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 کاملApproximate Solutions to Optimal Stopping Problems
We propose and analyze an algorithm that approximates solutions to the problem of optimal stopping in a discounted irreducible aperiodic Markov chain. The scheme involves the use of linear combinations of fixed basis functions to approximate a Q-function. The weights of the linear combination are incrementally updated through an iterative process similar to Q-Iearning, involving simulation of t...
متن کاملOn approximative solutions of optimal stopping problems
In this paper some extensions are given of the method to approximate optimal discrete time stopping problems by related limiting stopping problems for Poisson type processes. In particular we establish detailed results for the solutions of the differential equations characterizing the optimal stopping curves in the limiting stopping problem. These allow to determine explicit approximative optim...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping Problems for Some Markov Processes
In this paper, we solve explicitly the optimal stopping problem with random discounting and an additive functional as cost of observations for a regular linear diffusion. We also extend the results to the class of one-sided regular Feller processes. This generalizes the result of Beibel and Lerche [Statist. Sinica 7 (1997) 93–108] and [Teor. Veroyatn. Primen. 45 (2000) 657–669] and Irles and Pa...
متن کاملOn Some Optimal Stopping Problems with Constraint
We consider the optimal stopping problem of a Markov process {xt : t ≥ 0} when the controller is allowed to stop only at the arrival times of a signal, that is, at a sequence of instants {τn : n ≥ 1} independent of {xt : t ≥ 0}. We solve in detail this problem for general Markov– Feller processes with compact state space when the interarrival times of the signal are independent identically dist...
