Model Predictive Control

The third edition of "Model Predictive Control" provides a thorough introduction to theoretical and practical aspects of the most commonly used MPC strategies. It bridges the gap between the powerful but often abstract techniques of control researchers and the more empirical approach of practitioners. Its chapter structure has been completely overhauled to make the different "flavours" of MPC more easily findable and accessible. All of the material is thoroughly updated for the third edition with stochastic and distributed MPC making their debuts. New exercises, examples and case-studies have also been added throughout and MATLAB(R) programs simulating examples and assisting with design can be downloaded. This book gives the student access to a widely-used form of control which is required by many industrial careers.
