Abstract

A problem in mathematical economics concerning the optimal investment of resources is solved via the techniques of optimal control theory. Interesting theoretical complications include the simultaneous presence of interdependent control variable inequality constraints, state variable inequality constraints, and singularity conditions. Economic implications of the results are briefly discussed.
