Abstract

We study extensions to higher dimensions of the classical Bayesian sequential testing and detection problems for Brownian motion. In the main result we show that, for a large class of problem formulations, the cost function is unilaterally concave. This concavity result is then used to deduce structural properties for the continuation and stopping regions in specific examples.
