Optimal control and differential games. 6th Viennese workshop on Optimal control, dynamic games, nonlinear dynamics and adaptive systems, held in Vienna, Austria, May 1997 (Q1807971)

The articles of this volume will be reviewed individually. See also the companion volume announced in Zbl 0828.00061 below. The 3rd workshop 1987 has been reviewed (see Zbl 0658.00019). The focus of the articles in this volume lies on optimal control and dynamic games. They represent the state of the art in the application of optimal control theory to dynamic economic decision problems. There are several focuses in different areas of application, ranging from classical advertising models and growth models to applications in crime prevention. With respect to the decision situation, the articles have been arranged in three groups: Decision problems with one decision maker in a deterministic world: deterministic optimal control (7 articles); Decision problems with one decisionmaker in a stochastic world: stochastic optimal control (6 articles); Game situations with at least two decision makers: dynamic games (8 articles).
