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…

We solve the Skorokhod embedding problem for a class of stochastic processes satisfying an inhomogeneous stochastic differential equation (SDE) of the form $d A_t =\mu (t, A_t) d t + \sigma(t, A_t) d W_t$. We provide sufficient conditions…

We present a numerical framework for approximating the $\mu$-domain in the planar Skorokhod embedding problem PSEP, recently introduced in \cite{gross2019}. We show that under weak convergence of a sequence of probability measures…

We adapt ideas and concepts developed in optimal transport (and its martingale variant) to give a geometric description of optimal stopping times of Brownian motion subject to the constraint that the distribution of the stopping time is a…

The Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) is to represent a given probability measure as a Brownian motion $B$ at a particular stopping time. In recent years particular attention has gone to solutions which exhibit additional optimality…

In this work, we investigate the problem of the boundedness of the Gross' solutions of the planar Skorokhod embedding problem, where we show that the solution is bounded under some mild conditions on the underlying probability distribution.

We provide a complete characterisation of the Root solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) by means of an optimal stopping formulation. Our methods are purely probabilistic and the analysis relies on a tailored time-reversal…

Suppose $X$ is a time-homogeneous diffusion on an interval $I^X \subseteq \mathbb R$ and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $I^X$. Then $\tau$ is a solution of the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) for $\mu$ in $X$ if $\tau$ is a…

In a recent work by Gross, it was proved that, given a distribution $\mu$ with zero mean and finite second moment, we can find a simply connected domain $\Omega$ such that if $Z_{t}$ is a standard planar BM, then…

In this paper, we study branching Brownian motion with absorption, in which particles undergo Brownian motions and are killed upon hitting the absorption barrier. We prove that the empirical distribution function of the maximum of this…

We give a Dirichlet form approach for the construction of a distorted Brownian motion in $E:=[0,\infty)^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, where the behavior on the boundary is determined by the competing effects of reflection from and pinning at the…

This work contributes a systematic survey and complementary insights of reflecting Brownian motion and its properties. Extension of the Skorohod problem's solution to more general cases is investigated, based on which a discussion is…

In order to approximate a continuous time stochastic process by discrete time Markov chains one has several options to embed the Markov chains into continuous time processes. On the one hand there is the Markov embedding, which uses…
