A mathematical optimal control problem formulated on the basis of the closed-form dynamic problem of three-sector economy is studied. The system state is described by a set of functions of specific capital in each sector; the control parameter is the quantity characterizing a volume of specific investments of the fund-creating sector playing a key role in the economic system. The mathematical problem is formulated as a classical optimal control problem with a fixed time interval, with the fastened left and free right trajectory ends. Solving the stated problem is based on the Pontryagin maximum principle. A general control structure is determined that corresponds to the maximum principle. A method for further study of the stated problem is described, which consists in analytical determination of main and associated variables and in development of the procedure for finding the optimal control.
