These MPC-based governors serve as a supervisory control layer that generates optimal trajectories for lower-level controllers such that the safety of the system is enforced while optimizing the overall performance of the closed-loop system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of the monograph introduces the concept of optimization-based reference governors, provides an overview of the fundamentals of convex optimization and MPC, and discusses a rigorous design procedure for MPC-based reference governors. The design procedure depends on the type of lower-level controller involved and four practical cases are covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePID lower-level controllers;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elinear quadratic regulators;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erelay-based controllers; and\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecases where the lower-level controllers are themselves model predictive controllers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor each case the authors provide a thorough theoretical derivation of the corresponding reference governor, followed by illustrative examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second part of the book is devoted to practical aspects of MPC-based reference governor schemes.
