We study the properties of the polyhedral partition of the state space induced by the multi-parametric piecewise affine solution and propose a new mp-QP solver. Compared to existing algorithms, our approach adopts a different exploration strategy for subdividing the parameter space, avoiding unnecessary partitioning and QP problem solving, with a significant improvement of efficiency.
