We provide, in a general setting, explicit solutions for optimal stopping problems that involve diffusion process and its running maximum. Our approach is to use the excursion theory for Levy processes. Since general diffusions are, in…
We consider optimal transport problems where the cost is optimized over controlled dynamics and the end time is free. Unlike the classical setting, the search for optimal transport plans also requires the identification of optimal "stopping…
