The proposed control law is implemented as a piecewise-affine function defined on a regular simplicial partition, and has two main positive features. First, the regularity of the simplicial partition allows a very efficient implementation of the control law on digital circuits, with computation performed in tens of nanoseconds. Second, the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is enforced a priori by design. %Z 4th IFAC Conference on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control 2012 (NMPC'12), Netherlands, August 23 - 27, 2012
