"OPTEC Tutorial Course on Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization"
The course will consist of lectures, interactive
sessions, and guided computer exercises and is organized in Leuven
(Belgium). The course will introduce the basic concepts of numerical
optimization which are needed to formulate and solve optimal control as
well as model predictive control problems. A particular emphasis is put on
the software ACADO Toolkit, which will be employed within the computer
exercises.
The goal is that towards the end of the course, every participant will
understand how to formulate and solve dynamic optimization problems of
her/his own choice, so it is encouraged to think about interesting
applications of dynamic optimization even before the course starts.
Moreover, the participants will learn how to use the open-source software
ACADO Toolkit (released under the LGPL licence). The lectures and exercises
will be given by M. Diehl, B. Houska, H.J. Ferreau.
