On Dynkin Games with Unordered Payoff Processes

Abstract

A Dynkin game is a zero-sum, stochastic stopping game between two players where either player can stop the game at any time for an observable payoff. Typically the payoff process of the max-player is assumed to be smaller than the payoff process of the min-player, while the payoff process for simultaneous stopping is in between the two. In this paper, we study general Dynkin games whose payoff processes are in arbitrary positions. In both discrete and continuous time settings, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of pure strategy Nash equilibria and epsilon-optimal stopping times in all possible subgames.
