On discrete time infinite horizon optimal growth problem

Optimal growth problem is an important optimization problem in the theory ofeconomic dynamics. This paper provides an overview of the main approachesused in the existing literature in solving infinite horizon discrete time optimalgrowth problem and includes very recent developments.
