We perform this analysis by first resolving the stochastic target problems (of Soner and Touzi [SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2002; Journal of European Mathematical Society, 2002]) with a cooperative or a non-cooperative stopper and then embedding the original problem into the latter set-up. Unlike in Bayraktar and Huang [SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2013] our analysis relies crucially on the Stochastic Perron method of Bayraktar and Sirbu [SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2013] but not the dynamic programming principle, which is difficult to prove directly for games.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-13T17:57:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93E20", "49L25", "60J75", "60G40" ], "keywords": [ "controlled jumps", "controller-stopper problems", "siam journal", "optimization", "state process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
