Moscow University Mathematics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper deals with the quickest detection of the disorder of a Brownian motion on a finite interval. The unknown moment of disorder is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the interval. The Bayesian and absolute criteria are used as optimality tests. The problem is reduced to a classic optimal stopping problem where the optimal stopping time may be obtained as a solution to integral equations. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of integral equations are proved analytically.
