Résumé

The talk comprises two parts. In the first one, the problem of optimal
stopping is introduced, and some classical results are presented and proved in certain
detail, after a discussion of several different existing approaches.
In the second one, some new results are presented, concerning diffusions with discontinuous
coefficients. In this case, new phenomena concerning the classical solutions appear.
