    summary:We improve a result of Bassan and Scarsini (1998) concerning necessary conditions for finite and infinite extendibility of a finite row-column exchangeable array, and provide a simpler proof for the result

    summary:We generalize well known results about the extendibility of finite exchangeable sequences and provide necessary conditions for finite and infinite extendibility of a finite row-column exchangeable array. These conditions depend in a simple way on the correlation matrix of the array

    MIXED OPTIMAL STOPPING AND STOCHASTIC CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH SEMICONTINUOUS FINAL REWARD FOR DIFFUSION PROCESSES

    No full text
    We consider mixed control problems for diffusion processes, i.e. problems which involve both optimal control and stopping. The running reward is assumed to be smooth, but the stopping reward need only be semicontinuous. We show that, under suitable conditions, the value function w has the same regularity as the final reward g, i.e. w is lower or upper semicontinuous if g is. Furthermore, when g is l.s.c., we prove that the value function is a viscosity solution of the associated variational inequality
