Description

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.¬†

Uses case¬†studies¬†to¬†illustrate real-world applications¬†for¬†a better understanding of the¬†concepts presented¬†¬†
Covers the fundamentals of optimization and model predictive control¬†¬†
Provides information on key topics, such as the basic sensitivity theorem, linear programming, quadratic programming, mixed-integer linear programming, optimal control of continuous systems, and multi-parametric optimal control¬†¬†

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.¬†
