Model Predictive Control

The second 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. The book demonstrates that a powerful technique does not always require complex control algorithms. All of the material is thoroughly updated for the second edition and there are entirely new chapters. Many new exercises and examples have also been added throughout and Matlab(R) programs to aid in their solution can be downloaded from the authors' website. This book gives the student access to a widely-used form of control which will be required by many industrial careers.
