Zusammenfassung: 
We present a solution to some discounted optimal stopping problem for the maximum of a geometric Brownian motion on a finite time interval. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial optimal stopping problem with the continuation region determined by an increasing continuous boundary surface to a parabolic free-boundary problem. Using the change-of-variable formula with local time on surface we show that the optimal boundary can be characterized as a unique solution of a nonlinear integral equation. The result can be interpreted as pricing American fixed-strike lookback option in a diffusion model with finite time horizon.
