Abstract:
Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular controller design
technique in the process industry. Conventional MPC uses (non)linear
discrete-time models. Recently we have extended MPC to a class of
discrete event systems that can be described by a model that is linear
in the (max,+) algebra. Up to now we have only considered the
deterministic noise-free case without modeling errors. In this paper
we extend our previous results to cases with noise and/or modeling
errors. We show that under quite general conditions the resulting
optimization problem can be solved very efficiently.
