This paper, using the different alternative methods of dynamic optimization (the Lagrange/Kuhn-Tucker (LKT) method, the substitution method, the Hamiltonian method, and the dynamic programming approach) derives the conditions that must be satisfied by the solution to the so-called Ramsey...

We expose a weakness in an intuitive description popularly associated with the method of Lagrange multipliers and propose an alternative intuition. According to the deficient intuition, the Lagrange technique transforms a constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained optimization...
