Au cœur de l'économie politique, la dette - l'approche de J. R. Commons
Maucourant, Jérôme - HAL - 1993

On the Optimal Control of Some Parabolic Partial Differential Equations Arising in Economics
Boucekkine, Raouf; Camacho, Carmen; Fabbri, Giorgio - HAL - 2013
We review an emerging application field to parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), that's economic growth theory. After a short presentation of concrete applications, we highlight the peculiarities of optimal control problems of parabolic PDEs with infinite time horizons. In particular,...
