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:
