We study the properties of the polyhedral partition of the state space induced by the multi-parametric piecewise linear 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 in efficiency}, url = {http://eprints.imtlucca.it/581/} }
