Optimal Equilibria for Multidimensional Time-Inconsistent Stopping Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study an optimal stopping problem under non-exponential discounting, where the state process is a multi-dimensional continuous strong Markov process. The discount function taken to be log sub-additive, capturing decreasing impatience in behavioral economics. On strength of probabilistic potential theory, we establish existence equilibrium among sufficiently large collection equilibria, consisting finely closed equilibria satisfying boundary condition. This generalizes for one-dimensional problems prior literature.

Optimal Stopping Problems for Time-Homogeneous Diffusions: a Review
The first part of this paper summarises the essential facts on general optimal stopping theory for time-homogeneous diffusion processes in R. The results displayed are stated in a little greater generality, but in such a way that they are neither too restrictive nor too complicated. The second part presents equations for the value function and the optimal stopping boundary as a free-boundary (S...
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...
متن کاملPathwise Optimization for Optimal Stopping Problems
W introduce the pathwise optimization (PO) method, a new convex optimization procedure to produce upper and lower bounds on the optimal value (the “price”) of a high-dimensional optimal stopping problem. The PO method builds on a dual characterization of optimal stopping problems as optimization problems over the space of martingales, which we dub the martingale duality approach. We demonstrate...

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...
