Abstract

This paper is devoted to the continuous time problems with concave costs in the case of no backlogging and impulse control.

We first give some results concerning the finite horizon problem. We then prove that it may exist a planning horizon only if a forecast horizon holds. Some results are given in order to find a planning horizon knowing a forecast horizon.
