Product Description
Dynamic optimization is rocket science – and more. This volume teaches
how to harness the modern theory of dynamic optimization to solve
practical problems, not only from space flight but also in emerging
social applications such as the control of drugs, corruption, and
terror. These innovative domains are usefully thought about in terms
of populations, incentives, and interventions, concepts which map well
into the framework of optimal dynamic control. This volume is designed
to be a lively introduction to the mathematics and a bridge to these
hot topics in the economics of crime for current scholars. We
celebrate Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle – that crowning intellectual
achievement of human understanding – and push its frontiers by
exploring models that display multiple equilibria whose basins of
attraction are separated by higher-dimensional DNSS "tipping points".
That rich theory is complemented by numerical methods available
through a companion web site.
