In many real-life applications of optimal control problems with constraints in form of partial differential equations (PDEs), hyperbolic equations are involved which typically describe transport processes. Since hyperbolic equations usually propagate discontinuities of initial or boundary...

In the theory of economics most models describing economic growth make use of differential equations. The examples are Solow's and Haavelmo's models. However, when they are used by econometricians many questions arise. Firstly, economic data are presented in discrete form, which implies the use...
