Download or read book Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems Using Receding-horizon Control Schemes written by Mazen Alamir and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-09-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While conceptually elegant, the generic formulations of nonlinear model predictive control are not ready to use for the stabilization of relatively fast systems. This book presents a successful approach to this problem based on a co-operation between structural considerations and on-line optimization. It also provides research showing how generic predictive control schemes can be extended from slow process-based systems to a variety of fast systems.
