We study a principal-agent problem with one principal and multiple agents. The principal provides an exit contract which is identical to all agents, then each agent chooses her/his optimal exit time with the given contract. The principal looks for an optimal contract in order to maximize her/his reward value which depends on the agents choices. Under a technical monotone condition, and by using Bank-El Karouis representation of stochastic process, we are able to decouple the two optimization problems, and to reformulate the principals problem into an optimal control problem. The latter is also equivalent to an optimal multiple stopping problem and the existence of the optimal contract is obtained. We then show that the continuous time problem can be approximated by a sequence of discrete time ones, which would induce a natural numerical approximation method. We finally discuss the principal-agent problem if one restricts to the class of all Markovian and/or continuous contracts.
This paper investigates sufficient conditions for a Feynman-Kac functional up to an exit time to be the generalized viscosity solution of a Dirichlet problem. The key ingredient is to find out the continuity of exit operator under Skorokhod topology,
The main result in this paper is a variational formula for the exit rate from a bounded domain for a diffusion process in terms of the stationary law of the diffusion constrained to remain in this domain forever. Related results on the geometric ergo
In order to approximate the exit time of a one-dimensional diffusion process, we propose an algorithm based on a random walk. Such an algorithm so-called Walk on Moving Spheres was already introduced in the Brownian context. The aim is therefore to g
Crowdsourcing markets have emerged as a popular platform for matching available workers with tasks to complete. The payment for a particular task is typically set by the tasks requester, and may be adjusted based on the quality of the completed work,
Tight estimates of exit/containment probabilities are of particular importance in many control problems. Yet, estimating the exit/containment probabilities is non-trivial: even for linear systems (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes), the containment probab
