It can be used for independent reading by applied mathematicians, control theoreticians and engineers who desire a rigorous introduction into the NMPC theory. It can also be used as a textbook for a graduate-level university course in NMPC." (Ilya Kolmanovsky, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2015)</p>"In the monograph nonlinear, discrete-time, finite-dimensional control systems with constant parameters are considered. ... Each chapter of the monograph contains many numerical examples which illustrate the theoretical considerations, several possible extensions and open problems. Moreover, relationships to results on predictive control published in the literature are pointed out." (Jerzy Klamka, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1220, 2011)<br>
