Optimal Control Theory With A Free Endpoint
The general format for an optimal control problem involving continuous time with a finite time horizon and a free endpoint is where the upper limit of integration x T is free and unrestricted. Assuming an interior solution, the first two conditions for maximization, comprising the maximum condition, remain the same but the third or boundary condition changes 3. a jr 0 .t0 b X T 0 where the very last condition is called the transvcrsality condition for a free endpoint. The rationale for the...
Optimization Of Constant Elasticity Of Substitution Production Functions
The elasticity of substitution a measures the percentage change in the least-cost K1L input ratio resulting from a small percentage change in the input-price ratio PJPk - where O rr . If o 0, there is no substitutability, the two inputs are complements and must be used together in fixed proportion If lt r the two goods are perfect substitutes. A Cobb-Douglas production function, as shown in Problem 6.57, has a constant elasticity of substitution equal to 1. A constant elasticity of substitution...

Implicit Differentiation
Introductory economics deals most often with explicit functions in which the dependent variable appears to the left of the equal sign and the independent variable appears to the right. Frequently encountered in more advanced economics courses, however, are implicit functions in which both variables and constants are to the left of the equal sign. Some implicit functions can be easily converted to explicit functions by solving for the dependent variable in terms of the independent variable...
