Abstract

We establish that the boundaries of the so-called Rost’s reversed barrier are the unique couple of left-continuous monotonic functions solving a suitable system of nonlinear integral equations of Volterra type. Our result holds for atom-less target distributions μ of the related Skorokhod embedding problem.
