Rather than visiting different bases of the associated LP tableau, we follow a geometric approach based on the direct exploration of the parameter space. The resulting algorithm has computational advantages, namely the simplicity of its implementation in a recursive form and an efficient handling of primal and dual degeneracy. Illustrative examples describe the approach throughout the paper. The algorithm is used to solve finite-time constrained optimal control problems for discrete-time linear dynamical systems. date: 2003 publication: Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications volume: 118 number: 3 publisher: Springer-Verlag pagerange: 515-540 id_number: 10.1023/B:JOTA.0000004869.66331.5c refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-3239 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/B:JOTA.0000004869.66331.5c citation: Borrelli, Francesco and Bemporad, Alberto and Morari, Manfred A geometric algorithm for multi-parametric linear programming.
