Optimal Control Theory: Applications to Management Science and Economics
( Optimal control methods are used to determine optimal w...)
Optimal control methods are used to determine optimal ways to control a dynamic system. The theoretical work in this field serves as a foundation for the book, which the authors have applied to business management problems developed from their research and classroom instruction. Sethi and Thompson have provided management science and economics communities with a thoroughly revised edition of their classic text on Optimal Control Theory. The new edition has been completely refined with careful attention to the text and graphic material presentation. Chapters cover a range of topics including finance, production and inventory problems, marketing problems, machine maintenance and replacement, problems of optimal consumption of natural resources, and applications of control theory to economics. The book contains new results that were not available when the first edition was published, as well as an expansion of the material on stochastic optimal control theory.

This package explores constructive economic models developed by researchers and shows how they can be solved using mathematical programming software packages such as GAMS, a fully functional version of the 2.25 Student Version being contained in this pack. Emphasis is placed on the economic interpretations of the results, not on the mathematical techniques needed to actually find the solutions. In this way it is possible to cover a large number of applications without requiring extensive mathematical or computational knowledge from the reader. Although a course taught from this book does require some familiarity with elementary calculus, no prior experience with either a personal computer or operations research is required.
