Abstract

In this paper, we study a free boundary problem, which arises from an optimal trading problem of a stock that is driven by a uncertain market status process. The free boundary problem is a variational inequality system of three functions with a degenerate operator. The main contribution of this paper is that we not only prove all the four switching free boundaries are no-overlapping, monotonic and CC^{\infty}-smooth, but also completely determine their relative localities and provide the optimal trading strategies for the stock trading problem.
