In this paper we will consider the problem of monopolistic competition of two or more firms that offer the same products. Special attention will be put on the construction of a general mathematical model of oligopolistic competition. This model was applied in practical research, i.e. it was implemented in the production optimization of three monopolistic firms.
Key Words: monopolistic competition, models of functional dependence, optimization of economics variables

MATEMATIČKI MODELI MONOPOLISTIČKE KONKURENCIJE: TEORIJSKI PRINCIPI I PRIMENE
U ovom radu razmatramo problem monopolističke konkurencije dva ili više preduzeća sa istim proizvodom. Posebna pažnja posvećena je konstrukciji opšteg matematičkog modela oligopolne konkurencije koji je zatim primenjen u optimizaciji proizvodnje triju monopolističkih firmi.
Ključne reči: monopolistička konkurencija, modeli funkcionalnih zavisnosti, optimizacija ekonomskih veličina
