This paper presents a computationally fesible procedure for the optimalcontrol and stochastic simulation of large nonlinear models with rationalexpectations under the assumption of certainty equivalence. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2003

In this paper we propose a numerical approach for the solution of some optimalcontrol problems arising in the field of marketing decision models. Inparticular, we account for a specific innovation diffusion model. A numericalapproach may be useful to investigate some features of state variables...

In any dynamic model of the economy with changing population, the latter should properly be one of the state variables of the system. It enters both in the maximand, at least under total utilitarianism, and into the production function in one way or another. If population growth is exponential...

Dynamic stochastic programs are prototypical for optimization problems with an inherent tree structure inducing characteristic sparsity patterns in the KKT systems of interior methods. We propose an integrated modeling and solution approach for such tree-sparse programs. Three closely related...

2001 the first version WARRANT-PRO-2 (0.1) has been presented, see Breitner and Burmester (2002), which optimizes cash settlements for European double-barrier options and warrants. From the viewpoint of financial mathematics, some of the boundary conditions of the partial differential...
