Abstract

We analyze an optimal stopping problem supγ∈TE¯0[Yγ∧τ0] with random maturity τ0 under a nonlinear expectation E¯0[⋅]:=supP∈PEP[⋅], where P is a weakly compact set of mutually singular probabilities. The maturity τ0 is specified as the hitting time to level 0 of some continuous index process X at which the payoff process Y is even allowed to have a positive jump. When P collects a variety of semimartingale measures, the optimal stopping problem can be viewed as a discretionary stopping problem for a player who can influence both drift and volatility of the dynamic of underlying stochastic flow.
