Abstract

Model-Predictive Control (MPC) is a popular advanced control technique, known for its robustness and simplicity in taking control constraints into account. In recent years, the interest grows in applying interval methods to compute MPC. The paper applies interval methods in a simple case. Numerical results for a benchmark problem are presented.
