Abstract:
A class of infinite-horizon optimal control problems that arise in economic applications is considered. A theorem on the nonemptiness and boundedness of the set of optimal controls is proved by the method of finite-horizon approximations and the apparatus of the Pontryagin maximum principle. As an example, a simple model of optimal economic growth with a renewable resource is considered.
