Banach Center Publications

The principle of smooth fit is probably the most used tool to find solutions to optimal stopping problems of one-dimensional diffusions. It is important, e.g., in financial mathematical applications to understand in which kind of models and problems smooth fit can fail. In this paper we connect-in case of one-dimensional diffusions-the validity of smooth fit and the differentiability of excessive functions. The basic tool to derive the results is the representation theory of excessive functions;...
