Model Predictive Control - Study Circle
Organizer: Karl-Erik Årzén
This a graduate/PhD course on Model Predictive Control (MPC) given on study circle form, i.e, it is the participants that do most of the work.
We will use the text book Model-Predictive Control: Theory and Design by Rawlings and Mayne together with material from the courses
- ME-425 Model-Predictive Control developed by Colin Jones at EPFL
- EL2700 Model predictive control developed by Mikael Johansson at KTH
In addition we will use the following texts and tools:
- The MPCtools Matlab toolbox
- The CVX Matlab toolbox
- The CVXGEN toolbox
- The QPgen toolbox
- .....
