We consider the optimal stopping of a class of spectrally negative jump diffusions. We state a set of conditions under which the value is shown to have a representation in terms of an ordinary nonlinear programming problem. We establish a…

Optimal stopping problems consider the question of deciding when to stop an observation-generating process in order to maximize a return. We examine the problem of simultaneously learning and planning in such domains, when data is collected…

We consider a classical finite horizon optimal control problem for continuous-time pure jump Markov processes described by means of a rate transition measure depending on a control parameter and controlled by a feedback law. For this class…
