Overview
- Presents up-to-date research showing how generic predictive control schemes can be extended from slow process-based systems to a variety of fast systems
- Deals with nonlinear as well as linear cases
- Large number of "case-by-case" examples builds up into a coherent method of thinking that will allow the reader to apply the appropriate blend of methods any system being studied

About this book
While conceptually elegant, the generic formulations of nonlinear model predictive control are not ready to use for the stabilization of fast systems. Dr. Alamir presents a successful approach to this problem based on a co-operation between structural considerations and on-line optimization. The balance between structural and optimization aspects of the method is dependent on the system being considered so the many examples aim to transmit a mode of thought rather than a ready-to-use recipe; they include:
- double inverted pendulum;
- non-holonomic systems in chained form;
- snake board;
- missile in intercept mission;
- polymerization reactor;
- walking robot;
- under-actuated satellite in failure mode.
In addition, the basic stability results under receding horizon control schemes are revisited using a sampled-time, low-dimensional control parameterization that is mandatory for fast computation and some novel formulations are proposed which offer promising directions for future research.
