Subject

I am interested in the field of model predictive control (DMPC).

In particular, I am looking into distributed MPC schemes for cooperative or cooperative competitive control of multi-agent systems. These schemes are designed for flexibility and scalability using methods from MPC theory, multi-agent theory and distributed optimisation, and in order to establish guarantees of desirable properties, e.g. achievement of cooperative objectives or economic performance.
