After converting icHA to a corresponding event-driven representation that allows one to compute the model predictive control action by mixed integer programming, sufficient conditions ensuring event-asymptotic and time-asymptotic convergence are proven. The paper also shows how the same modeling methodology can be employed to efficiently solve problems of verification of safety properties. publisher: Springer-Verlag date: 2006 type: Book Section type: PeerReviewed identifier: Bemporad, Alberto and Di Cairano, Stefano and Júlvez, Jorge Event-based model predictive control and verification of integral continuous-time hybrid automata.
