The solution of such problems is given by (i) a complete set of profiles of all the optimal inputs to the plant as a function of state variables, and (ii) the regions in the space of state variables where these functions remain optimal. It is shown that these profiles are linear and the corresponding regions are described by linear inequalities. An algorithm for obtaining these profiles and corresponding regions of optimality is also presented. The key feature of the proposed approach is that the on-previous termline optimizationnext term problem is solved previous termoff-line via parametricnext term programming techniques. Hence (i) no previous termoptimizationnext term solver is called on-previous termline,next term and (ii) only simple function evaluations are required, to obtain the optimal inputs to the plant for the current state of the plant. date: 2002-02 date_type: published publication: Computers and Chemical Engineering volume: 26 number: 2 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 175-185 id_number: 10.1016/S0098-1354(01)00739-6 refereed: TRUE issn: 0098-1354 official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0098135401007396 citation: Pistikopoulos, Efstratios N. and Dua, Vivek and Bozinis, Nikolaos A. and Bemporad, Alberto and Morari, Manfred On-line optimization via off-line parametric optimization tools.
