Using discrete-time mathematical programming to optimise the extraction rate of a durable non-renewable resource with a single primary supplier

A non-linear discrete-time mathematical program model is proposed to determining the optimal extraction policy for a single primary supplier of a durable non-renewable resource, such as gemstones or some metals. Karush, Kuhn and Tucker conditions allow obtaining analytic solutions and general proper...
