Brownian Optimal Stopping and Random Walks

Journal Article · · Applied Mathematics and Optimization

One way to compute the value function of an optimal stopping problem along Brownian paths consists of approximating Brownian motion by a random walk. We derive error estimates for this type of approximation under various assumptions on the distribution of the approximating random walk.
