DESCRIPTION:Lars Grüne\nEconomic MPC is a variant of model predictive con
 trol in which the control objective is more general than stabilizing a pre
 scribed equilibrium. For instance\, the objectice could be to maximize yie
 ld\, minimize costs or energy\, or a combination thereof. Formally\, such 
 general stage costs are easily incorporated in the finite horizon optimal 
 control problem solved in the MPC loop in each sampling instance. It is\, 
 however\, in general unclear\, if and if yes in which sense the closed loo
 p inherits the finite horizon optimality properties. In this talk we will 
 present corresponding results for MPC without terminal constraints. It wil
 l turn out that the so called turnpike property plays a crucial role in th
 is analysis. We will hence also discuss conditions on the control system w
 hich ensure this property. Parts of the talk are based on joint work with 
 Tobias Damm\, Marleen Stieler and Karl Worthmann.
