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.
