On turnpike solutions of some optimal growth problems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Turnpike behavior in multi-dimensional dynamic optimization problems is analyzed using maximal-yield endothermic chemical processes as an example. The turnpike process is strikingly simple, although the dynamic equations and the behavior of the other state variables and controls are considerably more complex. This feature characterizes the optimal solutions of a large variety of control problems, and is robust to variations in model specifications and constraints. The simple turnpike behavior is explained in terms of Green's Theorem analysis.
