However, the trajectory of the system cannot be stabilized to arbitrary desired points which imposes a significant restriction towards their utilization in various applications such as drug administration. In this paper, we study the equilibrium of Linear Impulsive Systems in light of target-sets instead of the standard equilibrium point approach. We properly extend the notion of invariant sets which is crucial in designing asymptotically stable Model Predictive Controllers (MPC). publisher: School of Chemical Engineering, NTU Athens date: 2012 type: Working Paper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/1448/1/TR2012-01.pdf identifier: Sopasakis, Pantelis and Patrinos, Panagiotis and Sarimveis, Haralambos and Bemporad, Alberto Model Predictive Control for Linear Impulsive Systems.
