Given a mixed-logic dynamical system, we derive an explicit controller in the form of a possibly discontinuous piecewise-affine function. This function is then approximated by resorting to piecewise-affine simplicial functions, which can be implemented on a circuit by extending the representation capabilities of a previously proposed architecture to evaluate the control action. The architecture has been implemented on FPGA and validated on a benchmark example related to an air conditioning system. date: 2011 date_type: published volume: 18 publisher: IFAC pagerange: 1350-1355 event_title: 18th IFAC World Congress event_location: Milano, Italy event_dates: August 28 - September 2, 2011 event_type: conference id_number: 10.3182/20110828-6-IT-1002.02517 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-902661-93-7 book_title: Proceedings of the 18th IFAC World Congress, 2011 related_url_url: http://www.ifac-papersonline.net/Detailed/47917.html related_url_type: pub citation: Poggi, Tomaso and Trimboli, Sergio and Bemporad, Alberto and Storace, Marco Explicit hybrid model predictive control: discontinuous piecewise-affine approximation and FPGA implementation.
