Short description
A much-needed practical approach to the topic, this book is unique in including case studies presenting a wide range of applications for the implementation of MPC in process engineering and automation. At the same time many theoretical, computational and implementation aspects of model-based control are explained, with a look at both linear and nonlinear model predictive control.
