英文摘要:
We solve the problem of optimal stopping of a Brownian motion subject to the constraint that the stopping time\'s distribution is a given measure consisting of finitely-many atoms. In particular, we show that this problem can be converted to a finite sequence of state-constrained optimal control problems with additional states corresponding to the conditional probability of stopping at each possible terminal time. The proof of this correspondence relies on a new variation of the dynamic programming principle for state-constrained problems which avoids measurable selection. We emphasize that distribution constraints lead to novel and interesting mathematical problems on their own, but also demonstrate an application in mathematical finance to model-free superhedging with an outlook on volatility.

中文摘要:
在布朗运动的停止时间分布是由有限多个原子组成的给定测度的约束下,我们解决了布朗运动的最优停止问题。特别地,我们证明了这个问题可以转化为一个有限序列的状态约束最优控制问题,其附加状态对应于在每个可能的终端时间停止的条件概率。这种对应关系的证明依赖于状态约束问题的动态规划原理的一种新变化,它避免了可测量的选择。我们强调,分布约束本身会导致新的、有趣的数学问题,但我们也展示了在数学金融中的一个应用,即用波动性的观点对自由超边际进行建模。
