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…
The Skorokhod embedding problem is to represent a given probability as the distribution of Brownian motion at a chosen stopping time. Over the last 50 years this has become one of the important classical problems in probability theory and a…
We study the problem of stopping a Brownian motion at a given distribution $\nu$ while optimizing a reward function that depends on the (possibly randomized) stopping time and the Brownian motion. Our first result establishes that the set…

One of aims of this note is to capture the interest of the mathematical community to a novel transformation, which we shall call Brownian symmetrization. This transformation arises from the solution of the planar Skorokhod embedding…
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…
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…
Given an initial (resp., terminal) probability measure $\mu$ (resp., $\nu$) on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we characterize those optimal stopping times $\tau$ that maximize or minimize the functional $\mathbb{E} |B_0 - B_\tau|^{\alpha}$, $\alpha > 0$,…
We study the sharp order of integrability of the exit position of Brownian motion from the planar domains ${\cal P}_\alpha = \{(x,y)\in \bR\times \bR\colon x> 0, |y| < Ax^{\alpha}\}$, $0<\alpha<1$. Together with some simple good-$\lambda$…
We prove a number of results relating exit times of planar Brownian with the geometric properties of the domains in question. Included are proofs of the conformal invariance of moduli of rectangles and annuli using Brownian motion;…
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 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…
We consider the Skorokhod problem in a time-varying interval. We prove existence and uniqueness for the solution. We also express the solution in terms of an explicit formula. Moving boundaries may generate singularities when they touch. We…
