Impulsive control in management: Prospects and applications

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

An outline of impulsive control and its applications in management is reviewed. Conditions for optimal impulsive controls when the dynamic process is given by a stochastic differential equation with Wiener and jump processes are given. Applications to inventory control, capacity expansion, vehicle dispatching, maintenance-replacement-inspection, and pricing problems are formulated, and optimality conditions found. Although there are many other applications that can be outlined, these provide some motivation for further study in this emerging field. © 1982 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
