Uncertainty and Probability Optimal Stopping Rules

Minimax Theorem


Question: what is the relation between the Snell envelopesUPfor fixed
P∈Pand the multiple prior Snell envelopeU?
Theorem
U= ess inf
P∈P

UP.


Corollary
Under our assumptions, there exists a measure P∗∈Psuch that
U=UP∗.The optimal stopping rule corresponds to the optimal stopping
rule under P∗.
