THE APPLICATION OF THE OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEM WITH MOBILE EXTREMES ON THE NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH PROCESS

Corina Adriana DOBOCAN, Ioan BLEBEA, Daniela POPESCU

Abstract


Problem launching new products on the market can mathematically model the problem of optimal control with a minimum of time. In this paper we solve such a problem in the initial and final conditions are not fixed. This reached an optimal control problem with the "extreme mobile. After applying transversality conditions we concluded that such a problem cannot have both ends mobile, that it makes sense only if more than one end is mobile. limit ourselves to resolving cases in which one end is fixed and a mobile, because if both ends are fixed is solved in detail in works [1] and [2].
