We consider three equilibrium concepts proposed in the literature for time-inconsistent stopping problems, including mild equilibria (introduced in [7]), weak equilibria (introduced in [4]) and strong equilibria (introduced in [1]). The discount function is assumed to be log sub-additive and the underlying process is one-dimensional diffusion. We first provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the characterization of weak equilibria. The smooth-fit condition is obtained as a by-product…

We investigate the stability of the equilibrium-induced optimal value in one-dimensional diffusion setting for a time-inconsistent stopping problem under non-exponential discounting. We show that the

We consider the game-theoretic approach to time-inconsistent stopping of a one-dimensional diﬀusion where the time-inconsistency is due to the presence of a non-exponential (weighted) discount

It is demonstrated explicitly that there can be incentive to deviate from a weak equilibrium, which justifies the need for strong equilibria, and theoretic results are applied to a two-state model under non-exponential discounting.

This paper develops an iterative approach to finding such equilibrium stopping times for a general class of problems and applies this approach to one-sided stopping problems on the real line and proves a verification theorem based on a set of variational inequalities which also allows to find equilibria.

This paper studies a class of continuous-time stochastic control problems which are time-inconsistent in the sense that they do not admit a Bellman optimality principle, and derives an extension of the standard Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation in the form of a system of nonlinear equations for the determination of the equilibrium strategy as well as the equilibrium value function.
