Abstract
A method controls an operation of a machine using a model predictive control (MPC). The method determine, in response to receiving a state of the operation of the machine, a dual solution of a dual parametric problem of a parametric form of the MPC using a parallel quadratic programming (PQP) rescaling iteratively a candidate dual solution of the dual parametric problem. The coefficients of the dual parametric problem include data representing dynamics of the machine and constraints on the operation of the machine. A parameter of the dual parametric problem includes the state of the operation of the machine. The method determines a primal solution of a primal problem of the MPC using the dual solution of the dual parametric problem.
