Optimal Control of Technological Innovations in Post-conflict Regions by Minimization of Admissible Network Investments and Risks

The problem for planning and control of technological investments is considered, in regions with increased risks for the investments being applied. A network flow approach for solving such problem is proposed which is adapted to innovation networks keeping in mind the risks. The capacity of such a network is determined as the minimal admissible risks are considered on its separate sections, as well as other possible constraints. The optimal decisions for implementation of technological innovations through minimal possible investments and admissible risks are found by solving problems of network flow programming. Two numerical examples are given for solving such type of problems that demonstrate the good opportunities using the method which is being suggested.
