  • Abstract
    The authors present a two state optimal control problem which exhibits the turnpike property. They provide an example of a dynamical system in a marketing context, numerical simulations of which showed that it exhibits the turnpike property. The problems encountered are discussed while numerically solving a dynamical system with more than one state variable and which displays the turnpike property. A numerical approach is described to solve the problem in a finite horizon using Fortran NAg library routines
