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.
