Abstract
The principles of dynamic programming have been explained and illustrated in Chapters 2 and 3. Specialist texts on dynamic programming deal with extensions to the basic framework of various kinds. Some extensions which may be useful in the context of managing agricultural and natural resources are introduced in this chapter. The aim is to provide some insight into the formulation and application of the extensions, rather than to treat each topic with full rigour.
