Infinite horizon optimization problems accompany two perplexities. First, the infinite series of utility sequences may diverge. Second, boundary conditions at the infinite terminal time may not be rigorously expressed. In this paper, we show that under two fairly general conditions, the limit of the solution to the undiscounted finite horizon problem is optimal among feasible paths for the undiscounted infinite horizon problem, in the sense of the overtaking criterion. Applied to a simple Ramsey model, we show that the derived path contains intriguing properties. We also comprehend the legitimacy of the derived paths by addressing the perplexities with non-standard arguments.

We aim to construct the optimal solutions to the undiscounted continuous-time infinite horizon optimization problems, the objective functionals of which may be unbounded. We identify the condition under which the limit of the solutions to the finite horizon problems is optimal for the infinite horizon problems under the overtaking criterion.
This paper is devoted to analysing the explicit slow decay rate and turnpike in the infinite-horizon linear quadratic optimal control problems for hyperbolic systems. Assume that some weak observability or controllability are satisfied, by which, the lower and upper bounds of the corresponding algebraic Riccati operator are estimated, respectively. Then based on these two bounds, the explicit slow decay rate of the closed-loop system with Riccati-based optimal feedback control is obtained. The averaged turnpike property for this problem is also further discussed. We then apply these results to the LQ optimal control problems constraint to networks of one-dimensional wave equations and also some multi-dimensional ones with local controls which lack of GCC(Geometric Control Condition).
We aim to generalize the results of Cai and Nitta (2007) by allowing both the utility and production function to depend on time. We also consider an additional intertemporal optimality criterion. We clarify the conditions under which the limit of the solutions for the finite horizon problems is optimal among all attainable paths for the infinite horizon problems under the overtaking criterion, as well as the conditions under which such a limit is the unique optimum under the sum-of-utilities criterion. The results are applied to a parametric example of the one-sector growth model to examine the impacts of discounting on optimal paths.
In this paper, we propose two algorithms for solving convex optimization problems with linear ascending constraints. When the objective function is separable, we propose a dual method which terminates in a finite number of iterations. In particular, the worst case complexity of our dual method improves over the best-known result for this problem in Padakandla and Sundaresan [SIAM J. Optimization, 20 (2009), pp. 1185-1204]. We then propose a gradient projection method to solve a more general class of problems in which the objective function is not necessarily separable. Numerical experiments show that both our algorithms work well in test problems.
In this paper we present a new algorithmic realization of a projection-based scheme for general convex constrained optimization problem. The general idea is to transform the original optimization problem to a sequence of feasibility problems by iteratively constraining the objective function from above until the feasibility problem is inconsistent. For each of the feasibility problems one may apply any of the existing projection methods for solving it. In particular, the scheme allows the use of subgradient projections and does not require exact projections onto the constraints sets as in existing similar methods. We also apply the newly introduced concept of superiorization to optimization formulation and compare its performance to our scheme. We provide some numerical results for convex quadratic test problems as well as for real-life optimization problems coming from medical treatment planning.
