Given anx0∈Rnwe study the infinite horizon problem of minimizing the expression∫0Tf(t,x(t),x′(t))dtasTgrows to infinity wherex:[0,∞)→Rnsatisfies the initial conditionx(0)=x0. We analyse the existence and the properties of approximate solutions for every prescribed initial valuex0. We also establish that for every bounded setE⊂RntheC([0,T])norms of approximate solutionsx:[0,T]→Rnfor the minimization problem on an interval[0,T]withx(0),x(T)∈Eare bounded by some constant which does not depend onT.

This study is concerned with harvesting a renewable resource that is surviving in a polluted environment. Fall in the revenue from the resource due to presence of pollution in the environment drives the sole owner to allocate a part of the available effort towards treating the environment and the interest is to find the optimal allocation of the available effort towards harvesting the resource and treating the environment so that the revenue is maximized. Resource-pollution dynamics are studied, maximum sustainable yield and maximum sustainable revenue have been evaluated. Further, an optimal allocation problem has been formulated on infinite horizon and optimal solutions are obtained. Key results of the study are demonstrated through numerical illustrations.
