ELO-X Short Course on Model Predictive Control Theory and Computation
James B. Rawlings and Moritz M. Diehl
University of California Santa Barbara and University of Freiburg
Tuesday, July 19, 2022, 9:00 - Wednesday, July 20, 2022, 18:00
Room 02-016/18, Georges-Koehler-Allee 101, Freiburg 79110, Germany
This two day course will be a live course for a limited number of PhD students - no recording, no streaming - in order to maximize interactivity between lecturers and participants. It covers stability theory for exact and real-time nonlinear model predictive control (MPC). It is intended for PhD students that are already familiar with the basic concepts of MPC, and partially builds on a textbook on MPC whose PDF is freely available:
Besides lectures and exercises, there will be ample opportunities for discussions between lecturers and participants during the coffee and lunch breaks breaks and during the workshop dinner on July 19, which will take place at St. Ottilien.
Course Registration: closed
