Variables Reduction in Sequential Resource Allocation Problems

This paper presents a general framework to address diverse notoriously difficult problems arising in the area of optimal resource management, exploitation of natural reserves, pension fund valuation, environmental protection, and storage operation. Using some common abstract features of this problem...
