Abstract
The problem of simultaneously determining the lifetime of an asset or an activity along with its management during that lifetime is an important problem in practice. The most typical example is the problem of optimal maintenance and replacement of a machine; see Rapp (1974) and Pierskalla and Voelker (1976) . Other examples occur in forest management, such as in Näslund (1969) , Clark (1976) , and Heaps (1984) , and in advertising copy management, such as in Pekelman and Sethi (1978) .
