Abstract

Applications of the original prophet inequalities of Krengel and Sucheston are made to problems of order selection, non-measurable stop rules, look-ahead stop rules, and iterated maps of random variables. Also, proofs are given of two results of Hill and Hordijk concerning optimal orderings of uniform and exponential distributions
