Workshop # 5
Interpolation-based techniques for constrained control: from improved vertex control to robust model predictive control alternatives.Organizers: Hoai-Nam Nguyen, Sorin Olaru and Per-Olof Gutman
The present workshop intends to present the latest developments on a topic with a renewed interest in the last years: the interpolation based control. Here, the strength of interpolation based control will be demonstrated for a large class of fundamental control problems covering the state/output feedback control of uncertain linear systems, including time varying and parameter varying systems with a specific attention to the presence of constraints on the outputs, states, and control inputs. The one-day event will present historical elements of constrained control and bring gradually the auditorium to the recent challenges in the optimization-based control design related topic. The auditorium will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of a generic interpolation scheme and subsequently will be exposed to the analysis of structural implications and the computational aspects of the resulting control law for various classes of dynamical systems. The participants will have the opportunity to compare the features of novel methodologies with respect to classical alternatives as vertex control or Model Predictive Control in their implicit or explicit formulations. In addition, the participants will attain the basis to apply computational tools to the design of robust interpolating controllers for uncertain linear systems with state and control constraints.
