Stochastic Model Predictive Control: Controlling the Average Number of Constraint Violations

Colin Neil Jones, Milan Korda

This paper considers linear discrete-time systems with additive bounded disturbances subject to hard control input bounds and constraints on the expected number of state-constraint violations averaged over time, or, equivalently, constraints on the probabi ...

MPC for tracking periodic reference signals

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

This paper is devoted to the design of a predictive controller for constrained linear systems to track periodic references. The only assumption on the dynamics of the reference is that it is periodic and its period is known. It is also assumed that the ref ...

Distributed Synthesis and Control of Constrained Linear Systems

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

This work presents an approach for both dis- tributed synthesis and control for a network of discrete-time constrained linear systems without central coordinator. Every system in the network is dynamically coupled to a number of neighboring systems and it ...

Efficient Interior Point Methods for Multistage Problems Arising in Receding Horizon Control

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

Receding horizon control requires the solution of an optimization problem at every sampling instant. We present efficient interior point methods tailored to convex multistage problems, a problem class which most relevant MPC problems with linear dynamics c ...

Computational Aspects of Distributed Optimization in Model Predictive Control

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Tyler Summers

This paper presents a systematic computational study on the performance of distributed optimization in model predictive control (MPC). We consider networks of dynamically coupled systems, which are subject to input and state con- straints. The resulting MP ...

Use of model predictive control and weather forecasts for energy efficient building climate control

Colin Neil Jones

This paper presents an investigation of how ModelPredictiveControl (MPC) and weatherpredictions can increase the energy efficiency in Integrated Room Automation (IRA) while respecting occupant comfort. IRA deals with the simultaneous control of heating, ve ...

Learning a feasible and stabilizing explicit model predictive control law by robust optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

Fast model predictive control on embedded sys- tems has been successfully applied to plants with microsecond sampling times employing a precomputed state-to-input map. However, the complexity of this so-called explicit MPC can be prohibitive even for low-d ...

A multiresolution approximation method for fast explicit model predictive control

Colin Neil Jones

A model predictive control law is given by the solution to a parametric optimization problem that can be pre- computed offline and provides an explicit map from state to control input. In this paper, an algorithm is introduced based on wavelet multiresolut ...

MPC of constrained discrete-time linear periodic systems — A framework for asynchronous control: Strong feasibility, stability and optimality via periodic invariance

Colin Neil Jones

State-feedback model predictive control (MPC) of discrete-time linear periodic systems with time-dependent state and input dimensions is considered. The states and inputs are subject to periodically time-dependent, hard, convex, polyhedral constraints. Fir ...

Input-to-state stabilization of feasible model predictive controllers for linear systems

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger

Research on sub-optimal Model Predictive Control (MPC) has led to a variety of optimization methods based on explicit or online approaches, or combinations thereof. Its foremost aim is to guarantee essential controller properties, i.e. recursive feasibilit ...

Constrained spectrum control using MPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours

Well-known model predictive control (MPC) theory for constrained linear time-invariant (LTI) systems is extended to accommodate hard constraints and cost penalizations on the spectra of the system’s output trajectories. Thus the proposed method facilitates ...

Alternative parameterisations for predictive control: How and why?

Colin Neil Jones

This paper looks at the efficiency of the parame- terisation of the degrees of freedom within an optimal predictive control algorithm. It is shown that the conventional approach of directly determining each individual future control move is not efficient i ...

Temperature Sensor Placement in Thermal Management Systems for MPSoCs

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francesco Zanini, Colin Neil Jones

Modern high-performance processors employ thermal management systems, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. Systematic tools for analysis and determination of best allocation and placement of thermal sensors is therefore a highly relev ...
