Hi there,

I'm a student studying control theory. I was very impressed by the idea of explicit multi-parametric solution of MPC. So I would like to try some example. I found two frameworks for explicit multi-parametric solution; YALMIP and MPT3.
What is the advantages of YALMIP over MPT3? Which framework should I use?

Best regards,
Yoshitaka

YALMIP and MPT both rely on each other. YALMIP uses MPT to solve the parametric programs, and MPT uses YALMIP to do some of the modelling.

If you have a very standard MPC problem, MPT has ready-made functions where you simply give A,B,N etc and it computes a solution, and has ready-made functions for simulations and analysis. YALMIP is used to extend the model, or create models from scratch when you have less standard problems

Johan,

I understood. Tackling with MPT first seems feasible for me.
Thank you very much!
