✦ Synopsis


We consider the problem of optimal stopping of a ÿnite sequence of dependent random variables. We explicitly determine the maximum of the stopping value within the Frà echet class of all multivariate distributions with given continuous marginals. We show that the maximum is attained for a shu e of min copula, and that it coincides with the value of a prophet.
