✦ Synopsis
At times, the number of controlled variables equals the number of manipulated variables and the objective of the control system is to minimize the di!erence in the desired and predicted output trajectories subject only to constraints on the manipulated variables. If a simpli"ed model predictive control algorithm is used for such applications, then solution to the optimization problem can be obtained by using the slopes between the unconstrained and constrained optimums. The solution procedure is described for a two-input}twooutput case. A comparison with a linear programming (LP) formulation showed that the computational time for the proposed solution was about 35 times less than the time for the LP solution.
