Abstract

One of the main problems companies have to solve is the distribution of resources among the potential beneficiaries. In many cases, this problem can be presented as a linear programming task with a linear objective function and constraining conditions. However, in some cases, the formulation of the problem as a mathematical programming task leads to integral or non-linear models requiring difficult or costly solution procedures. Dynamic programming offers a better way of dealing with these complex examples. The aim of the article is to show a suitable utilization of dynamic programming using an example of an allocation task.
