Time consistency is ensured in the problem by the aggregation of a sequence of conditional risk mappings, and the framework allows for model ambiguity. A reflected backward stochastic difference equation is used to characterise the value function and optimal stopping times.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-09T15:10:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G40", "91B08", "91B06", "49N30" ], "keywords": [ "partial information", "risk-averse optimal stopping", "conditional risk mappings", "reflected backward stochastic difference equation", "non-markovian optimal stopping problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
