An infinite-horizon maximum principle with bounds on the adjoint variable
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide necessary optimality conditions for a general class of discounted infinitehorizon dynamic optimization problems. As part of the resulting maximum principle we obtain explicit bounds on the adjoint variable, stronger than the transversality conditions in Arrow–Kurz form. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The transversality conditions in infinite horizon problems and the stability of adjoint variable
This paper investigates the necessary conditions of optimality for uniformly overtaking optimal control on infinite horizon with free right endpoint. Clarke’s form of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle is proved without the assumption on boundedness of total variation of adjoint variable. The transversality condition for adjoint variable is shown to become necessary if the adjoint variable is par...
متن کاملAnother View of the Maximum Principle for Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control Problems in Economics
We present a recently developed complete version of the Pontryagin maximum principle for a class of infinite-horizon optimal control problems arising in economics. The peculiarity of the result is that the adjoint variable is explicitly specified by a formula which resembles the Cauchy formula for solutions of linear differential systems. In certain situations this formula implies the “standard...
متن کاملMaximum Principle for Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control Problems with Dominating Discount
The paper revisits the issue of necessary optimality conditions for infinite-horizon optimal control problems. It is proved that the normal form maximum principle holds with an explicitly specified adjoint variable if an appropriate relation between the discount rate, the growth rate of the solution and the growth rate of the objective function is satisfied. The main novelty is that the result ...
متن کاملThe transversality conditions for infinite-horizon optimal control problem with a free right endpoint and the stability of the adjoint variable (in Russian)
An infinite-horizon optimal control problem with a free right endpoint is considered. In this paper we proved that Lyapunov stability of the adjoint variable implying the vanishing of the adjoint variable at infinity along optimal solution.
متن کاملValue Functions and Transversality Conditions for Infinite Horizon Optimal Control Problems
This paper investigates the relationship between the maximum principle with an infinite horizon and dynamic programming and sheds new light upon the role of the transversality condition at infinity as necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality with or without convexity assumptions. We first derive the nonsmooth maximum principle and the adjoint inclusion for the value function as necess...
