Introduction to Model Predictive Control for Discrete-time Dynamical Systems by Jun Chen

Optimize. Constrain. Control.

Model predictive control (MPC) has revolutionized modern engineering. This book offers a streamlined, accessible guide to MPC, specifically optimized for discrete-time systems.

We bridge the gap between complex mathematical theory and practical engineering reality. Through detailed explanations and real-world examples, you will learn to build robust algorithms that handle complex constraints with ease.

Key features:

Clarity first: Designed for students and experts alike.

Application-driven: Real-world problems, not just theoretical proofs.

Discrete-time focus: Tailored for modern digital implementation.

Equip yourself with the expertise to tackle the most demanding control challenges in industry today.

Jun Chen received his bachelor’s degree in automation from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou China, in 2009, and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Iowa State University, Ames IA, USA, in 2014. He was with Idaho National Laboratory from 2014 to 2016 and with General Motors from 2017 to 2020. Dr. Chen joined Oakland University in 2020, where he is currently an associate professor at the ECE department. His research interests include advanced control and optimization, model predictive control, artificial intelligence, and stochastic hybrid systems, with applications in intelligent vehicles, robotics, and energy systems.
