In this paper we consider optimal stopping problems for a general class of reward functions under matrix-exponential jump-diffusion processes. Given an American call-type reward function in this class, following the averaging problem approach (see, for example, Alili and Kyprianou (2005), Kyprianou and Surya (2005), Novikov and Shiryaev (2007), and Surya (2007)), we give an explicit formula for solutions of the corresponding averaging problem. Based on this explicit formula, we obtain the optimal level and the value function for American call-type optimal stopping problems.

In this paper we present closed form solutions of some discounted optimal stopping problems for the maximum process in a model driven by a Brownian motion and a compound Poisson process with exponential jumps. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial problems to integro-differential free-boundary problems, where the normal-reflection and smooth-fit conditions may break down and the latter then replaced by the continuous-fit condition. We show that, under certain relationships on the parameters of the model, the optimal stopping boundary can be uniquely determined as a component of the solution of a two-dimensional system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The obtained results can be interpreted as pricing perpetual American lookback options with fixed and floating strikes in a jump-diffusion model.
