MPC-part. The most important for this course is that you understand how to set up the optimization problem (J and constraints), understand feasibility handling, etc. - e.g. see the slides from Stig Strand in "septic". A good theoretical introduction to MPC is given in: MPC_Hovd_Pages-from-kurskompendium.pdf (section 6) Note that section 7 on performance monitoring is NOT required for 2002. Another good source on MPC is the Matlab MPC toolbox manual.
