Recent developments in multi-parametric optimization and control
Multi-Parametric Optimization and Control provides comprehensive
coverage of recent methodological developments for optimal model-based
control through parametric optimization. It also shares real-world
research applications to support deeper understanding of the material.
Researchers and practitioners can use the book as reference. It is also
suitable as a primary or a supplementary textbook. Each chapter looks at
the theories related to a topic along with a relevant case study. Topic
complexity increases gradually as readers progress through the chapters.
The first part of the book presents an overview of the state-of-the-art
multi-parametric optimization theory and algorithms in multi-parametric
programming. The second examines the connection between multi-parametric
programming and model-predictive control--from the linear quadratic
regulator over hybrid systems to periodic systems and robust control.
The third part of the book addresses multi-parametric optimization in
process systems engineering. A step-by-step procedure is introduced for
embedding the programming within the system engineering, which leads the
reader into the topic of the PAROC framework and software platform.
PAROC is an integrated framework and platform for the optimization and
advanced model-based control of process systems.
An appendix summarizes the history of multi-parametric optimization
algorithms. It also covers the use of the parametric optimization
toolbox (POP), which is comprehensive software for efficiently solving
multi-parametric programming problems.
