Abstract:The discrepancy between the finite stock of natural resources and infinite demand of human society development is increasingly drastic with the rapid development of economy. The sustainable exploitation and use of resources has caught attention of theorists. The study on the optimal extraction sequence of resources is an important content of sustainable resource exploitation and use. In this study, we make a brief comment on its study content, theoretical advance, study method based on the study actualities, and also make an analysis and forecast of its future trend.
