This monograph is devoted to an interesting class of dynamical systems arising in economic dynamics. Dynamical systems theory has been a rapidly growing area of research which has various applications to physics, engineering, biology and economics. In this theory one of the goals is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories of a dynamical system. A discrete-time dynamical system is described by a space of states and a sequence of transition operators which can be set-valued. Two types of dynamical systems are considered in the literature: autonomous, with a single transition operator which does not depend on time, and non-autonomous, with transition operators depending on time. In the monograph the authors discuss a number of results concerning this model which were obtained by the author in the last fifteen years. They study the existence of trajectories on which consumption tends to infinity, discuss the existence and structure of optimal solutions and analyse allocations of labour resources. The authors introduce an optimality criterion for the trajectories of the model, establish the existence of optimal trajectories and examine their structure. They consider a multi-product extension of the Makarov model and its extension with expenditures required for reallocation of labour resources.

The book is the second volume of the series, Advances in Mathematical Economics, which was launched in 1999. Each volume does not to have volume title like each volume of usual journal. This volume consists of only invited and refereed papers to keep high standard of this series.

The aim of this volume is to introduce and exchange recent new topics on the areas of inequality theory and their applications dealing in pure and applied mathematics.

First published in 2007. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

The problems of interrelation between human economics and natural environment include scientific, technical, economic, demographic, social, political and other aspects that are studied by scientists of many specialities. One of the important aspects in scientific study of environmental and ecological problems is the development of mathematical and computer tools for rational management of economics and environment. This book introduces a wide range of mathematical models in economics, ecology and environmental sciences to a general mathematical audience with no in-depth experience in this specific area. Areas covered are: controlled economic growth and technological development, world dynamics, environmental impact, resource extraction, air and water pollution propagation, ecological population dynamics and exploitation. A variety of known models are considered, from classical ones (Cobb Douglass production function, Leontief input-output analysis, Solow models of economic dynamics, Verhulst-Pearl and Lotka-Volterra models of population dynamics, and others) to the models of world dynamics and the models of water contamination propagation used after Chemobyl nuclear catastrophe. Special attention is given to modelling of hierarchical regional economic-ecological interaction and technological change in the context of environmental impact.

Updated to textbook form by popular demand, this second edition discusses diverse mathematical models used in economics, ecology, and the environmental sciences with emphasis on control and optimization. It is intended for graduate and upper-undergraduate course use, however, applied mathematicians, industry practitioners, and a vast number of interdisciplinary academics will find the presentation highly useful. Core topics of this text are: · Economic growth and technological development · Population dynamics and human impact on the environment · Resource extraction and scarcity · Air and water contamination · Rational management of the economy and environment · Climate change and global dynamics The step-by-step approach taken is problem-based and easy to follow. The authors aptly demonstrate that the same models may be used to describe different economic and environmental processes and that similar investigation techniques are applicable to analyze various models. Instructors will appreciate the substantial flexibility that this text allows while designing their own syllabus. Chapters are essentially self-contained and may be covered in full, in part, and in any order. Appropriate one- and two-semester courses include, but are not limited to, Applied Mathematical Modeling, Mathematical Methods in Economics and Environment, Models of Biological Systems, Applied Optimization Models, and Environmental Models. Prerequisites for the courses are Calculus and, preferably, Differential Equations.
