The paper provides a continuous-time version of the discrete-time Mitra–Wan model of optimal forest management, where trees are harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. The available trees and the other parameters of the problem vary continuously with...

The paper provides a continuous time version of the well known discrete time Mitra-Wan model of optimal forest management, where a forest is harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. Besides varying with time, the state variable (describing available trees)...

In this paper a family of optimal control problems for economic models is considered, whose state variables are driven by Delay Differential Equations (DDE's). Two main examples are illustrated: an AK model with vintage capital and an advertising model with delay e ect. These problems are very...

A family of optimal control problems for economic models, where state variables are driven by delay differential equations (DDEs) and subject to constraints, is treated by Bellman's dynamic programming in infinite dimensional spaces. An existence theorem is provided for the associated...

Segmentation is a core strategy in modern marketing, and age-specific segmentation based on the age of the consumers is very common in practice. Age-specific segmentation enables the change of the segments composition during time and can be studied only by means of dynamic advertising models....

The problem of a firm willing to optimally promote and sell a single product on the market is here undertaken. The awareness of such product is modeled by means of a Nerlove–Arrow goodwill as a state variable, differentiated jointly by means of time and of age of the segments in which the...

The paper concerns the study of equilibrium points, namely the stationary solutions to the closed loop equation, of an infinite dimensional and infinite horizon boundary control problem for linear partial differential equations. Sufficient conditions for existence of equilibrium points in the...
