Equivalence between Random Stopping Times in Continuous Time

Two concepts of random stopping times in continuous time have been defined in the literature, mixed stopping times and randomized stopping times. We show that under weak conditions these two concepts are equivalent, and, in fact, that all types of random stopping times are equivalent. We exhibit the significance of the equivalence relation between stopping times using stopping problems and stopping games. As a by-product we extend Kuhn's Theorem to stopping games in continuous time.
