A Jacobi decomposition algorithm for distributed convex optimization in Distributed Model Predictive Control

In this paper we introduce an iterative distributed Jacobi algorithm for solving convex optimization problems, which is motivated by distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear time-invariant systems. Starting from a given feasible initial guess, the algorithm iteratively improves the value of the cost function with guaranteed...

An Iterative Approach for Distributed Model Predictive Control of Irrigation Canals

Optimization techniques have played a fundamental role in designing automatic control systems for the most part of the past half century. This dependence is ever more obvious in today’s wide-spread use of online optimization-based control methods, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) [1]. The ability to capture process constraints and...
