Résumé

The properties of adjoint variables involved in the relations of the Pontryagin maximum principle are investigated for a class of infinite-horizon optimal control problems that arise in the study of economic growth processes. New formulations of the maximum principle in terms of intertemporal prices and the conditional value of the capital are established. Several illustrative examples are considered.
