Abstract :
Hybrid systems receive a lot of attention from both the computer science and the control community in recent years. The max-plus-linear (MPL) system is a typical subclass of hybrid systems. In this paper, we extend model predictive control (MPC) framework to the MPL system. We present a new optimization method for MPL-MPC problem that is based on canonical forms for max-min-plus-scaling (MMPS) functions (using the operations maximization, minimization, addition and scalar multiplication) with linear constraints on the inputs. This method is more efficient than applying nonlinear optimization that was done in previous work
