Abstract
A model predictive control algorithm with soft constraints is presented. Th e technique, finite number of weights model predictive control (FNWMPC), is based on the selection of a proper combination of weights when constraints are violated. Robust stability of the FNWMPC technique is studied using mu -structured singular value techniques. The algorithm is tested through simu lations of a lime kiln control problem and is compared to other existing mo del predictive control techniques. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All right s reserved.
