Quadratic programming (QP) methods are an important element in the application of model
predictive control (MPC). As larger and more challenging MPC applications are considered …

Sheet and film processes include coating, papermaking, metal rolling, and polymer film
extrusion. Products produced by these processes include paper, bumper stickers, plastic …

Sheet and film processes, which include papermaking, polymer film extrusion, and adhesive
coating, are of substantial industrial importance. The processes are poorly conditioned and …

An approach to implementing closed-loop identification in a model predictive-control
framework for the cross-direction control of basis weight is proposed. The closed-loop …

This paper details an approach to implement closed-loop identification in a model predictive
