The Skorokhod Embedding problem is well understood when the underlying process is a Brownian motion. We examine the problem when the underlying is the simple symmetric random walk and when no external randomisation is allowed. We prove that…

We study the existence, optimality, and construction of non-randomised stopping times that solve the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) for Markov processes which satisfy a duality assumption. These stopping times are hitting times of…

Start a planar Brownian motion and let it run until it hits some given barrier. We show that the barrier may be crafted so that the x coordinate at the hitting time has any prescribed centered distribution with finite variance. This…

Strong approximations of uniform transport processes to the standard Brownian motion rely on the Skorokhod embedding of random walk with centered double exponential increments. In this note we make such an embedding explicit by means of a…

We study a free boundary problem for a parabolic partial differential equation in which the solution is coupled to the moving boundary through an integral constraint. The problem arises as the hydrodynamic limit of an interacting particle…

In this paper we consider the Skorokhod embedding problem for target distributions with non-zero mean. In the zero-mean case, uniform integrability provides a natural restriction on the class of embeddings, but this is no longer suitable…
