Abstract

We revisit the optimality of the most rapid approach paths for problems of the calculus of variation in infinite horizon, which are scalar and linear w.r.t. the derivative. Our approach is based on the characterization of the value function in terms of the viscosity solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We obtain a new necessary and sufficient condition when there is only one turnpike, but characterize also the optimality of several turnpikes in competition. In this last case, nonsmooth analysis is used. Finally, we illustrate the results on a fishery management problem, for which the growth function has a depensation and the price is variable.
