The algorithm RLS-PLUS was developed to yield solutions to the multivariate control problem of diameter and species optimization for mixed conifer and hardwood stands. The problem is specified with twenty-five state variables consisting of five species groups with four merchantable diameter classes and one unmerchantable class. This gives twenty diameter...
