Constrainted optimization: merge two constraints into one

Consider the following problem \begin{align} &\max_u F(x,u)\\ \text{s.t. }& u \in [0,\bar u]. \end{align} Any idea how to merge the two constraints $u \geq 0$ and $\bar u - u \geq 0$ into one constra …

Dynamic Optimization: What if the second order condition does not hold?

Consider the following dynamic optimization problem \begin{align} &\max_u \int^T_0{F(x,u)dt}\\ \text{s.t.}~& \dot{x} = f(x,u) \end{align} FOCs The Hamiltonian is given by \begin{align} H(x,u,\lambda) …

static/dynamic optimization

\end{align} But the static optimization would still read \begin{align} &U(C(t)):=\max_{c(t-n,n)}\int^\infty_0 u(c(t-n,n))dn \\ &s.t. …

Simple Derivation of Maximum Principle

Consider the simplest problem of optimal control \begin{align} &\max_u\int^T_0{F(y,u)dt}\\ \text{s.t.} \quad&\dot y = f(y,u)\\ & y(0) = y_0\\ & y(T)~~\text{free} \end{align} where $y$ is the sta …

Symmetric Cournot equilibrium: suffciency without second order conditon

Let $q_i \in Q = \mathbb R_+$ denote the quantity produced by firm $i \in \{1,2\}$. Further let $\pi_i(q_1,q_2) = (1-q_1-q_2)q_i$ denote the profits of $i$. A Nash equilibrium $(q_1^*,q_2^*) \in Q^2$ …

Converging Trajectories and Sufficiency for Optimality

(The question is loosely relatet to this thread.) In the paper "Feedback Equilibria for a class of non-linear Differential Games" by Mäler et al. it is stated (p. 14) In fact sufficiency is sati …

Duality of cost minimization and profit maximization

The firm tries to maximize profits $\Pi$ \begin{align} \max_{K,L}\{\Pi(K,L) = F(K,L) - RK - wL\} \end{align} where $F$ is the linear homogeneous production function, $R$ the rental rate of capital $K …
