A class of ito diffusions with known terminal value and specified optimal barrier

In this paper, we study the optimal stopping-time problems related to a class of Ito diffusions, modeling for example an investment gain, for which the terminal value is a priori known. This could be the case of an insider trading or of the pinning at expiration of stock options. We give the explici...
