The main motivation behind \u003ci\u003eexplicit \u003c\/i\u003eNMPC is that an \u003ci\u003eexplicit \u003c\/i\u003estate feedback law avoids the need for executing a numerical optimization algorithm in real time. The benefits of an \u003ci\u003eexplicit \u003c\/i\u003esolution, in addition to the efficient on-line computations, include also verifiability of the implementation and the possibility to design embedded control systems with low software and hardware complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book considers the multi-parametric Nonlinear Programming (mp-NLP) approaches to \u003ci\u003eexplicit \u003c\/i\u003eapproximate NMPC of constrained \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems, developed by the authors, as well as their applications to various NMPC problem formulations and several case studies. The following types of \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems are considered, resulting in different NMPC problem formulations:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eØ  \u003ci\u003eNonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems described by first-principles models and \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems described by black-box models;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-  \u003ci\u003eNonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems with continuous control inputs and \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems with quantized control inputs;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-  \u003ci\u003eNonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems without uncertainty and \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems with uncertainties (polyhedral description of uncertainty and stochastic description of uncertainty);\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-  \u003ci\u003eNonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esystems, consisting of interconnected \u003ci\u003enonlinear \u003c\/i\u003esub-systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proposed mp-NLP approaches are illustrated with applications to several case studies, which are taken from diverse areas such as automotive mechatronics, compressor control, combustion plant control, reactor control, pH maintaining system control, cart and spring system control, and diving computers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642287794\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-28780-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378322530444,"sku":"9783642287794","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642287794.jpg?v=1775678135","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642287794","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
