Three different strategies are proposed and compared: a centralized solution based on a global QP problem that decides the commands to all the actuators, and two decentralized solutions where each actuator command is optimized locally. All schemes are based on a global exchange of information about the commands generated at the previous time step at each stand, required by a synchronizing device that compensates for the numerous delays present in the mill. date: 2007 number: 4 pages: 8 institution: University of Siena department: Department of Information Engineering related_url_url: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dii.unisi.it%2Flist.php%3Fid%3D12%26dir%3D.%252Fpriv%252Fpapers%252Fpapers_doc%252F%26download%3D25.pdf&rct=j&q=site%3Aunisi.it%20Optimization-based%20feedback%20control%20o citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Bernardini, Daniele and Cuzzola, Francesco Alessandro and Spinelli, Andrea Optimization-based feedback control of flatness in a cold tandem rolling.
