ABSTRACT. This paper surveys the origin and development of what has come to be known as "prophet inequalities " in optimal stopping theory. Included is a review of all published work to date on these problems, in cluding extensions and variations, descriptions and examples of the main proof techniques, and a list of a number of basic open problems. 1
