Multiobjective model predictive control of a parabolic advection-diffusion-reaction equation

Abstract

In the present paper a multiobjective optimal control problem governed by a linear parabolic advection-diffusion-reaction equation is considered. The optimal controls are computed by applying model predictive control (MPC), which is a method for controlling dynamical systems over long or infinite time horizons by successively computing optimal controls over a moving finite time horizon. Numerical experiments illustrate that the proposed solution approach can be successfully applied although some of the assumptions made in [1,2] can not be guaranteed for the studied tests.
