Research Type Theoretical We demonstrate that for a specific class of c, the trajectory of states taken by an agent can be described analytically. This tractability is a significant advantage not found in existing models and allows us to perform further theoretical analyses, including finding optimal interventions. Based on such analytical descriptions, we analyze three problems related to agents under present bias: task abandonment, optimal goal setting, and optimal reward scheduling.
