DESCRIPTION:Brage Rugstad Knudsen\nAbstract:\nFault tolerance in model pre
 dictive control (MPC) of dynamic systems is important for both safety and 
 economic optimality of operations. Among possible fault scenarios\, a part
 ial or full loss of actuation may be detrimental on the control performanc
 e or in worst case destabilize the system. In this talk\, I will present a
  proactive approach for accommodating incipient actuator faults in linear 
 control systems operated with economic MPC\, by means of invariant safety 
 sets and L1 exact penalty functions. I will further present an extension o
 f the scheme to nonlinear control systems and discuss related challenges\,
  as well as connections between the proposed approach and minimum-time con
 trol.Bio:\nBrage Rugstad Knudsen is a postdoctoral researcher at the Depar
 tment of Engineering Cybernetics\, Norwegian University of Science and Tec
 hnology\, working on fault-tolerant model predictive control. He received 
 a PhD from the same department in 2014. His main research interests are op
 timization\, receding horizon control\, and mixed integer programming with
  applications to natural gas and energy systems.
