...In this aspect, several efficient computing techniques, such as utilizing particular structure [40], using explicit MPC via a lookup table [41], and reducing the dimension via the parameterization method and “move blocking” method [42], might be employed to solve each single MPC problem for real-time implementations, which would be extremely interesting for further research....
