The discrete characteristics of the actuator backlash allows one to reformulate the input constraints as a set of mixed integer linear inequalities. As a result, the MPC is designed by solving a Mixed-integer Quadratic Programming problem. Simulation results are presented to show how this new approach performs as compared to the existing techniques of the backlash compensation when they are applied to an industrial case study. © IFAC Dynamics and Control of Process Systems, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, 2004 date: 2004 publisher: IFAC Secretariat official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84873103613&partnerID=40&md5=99419aba7bda824c9661a18830931d6f full_text_status: none publication: IFAC Proceedings Volumes (IFAC-PapersOnline) volume: 37 number: 9 pagerange: 643-648 refereed: TRUE issn: 14746670 citation: Zabiri, H. and Samyudia, Y.
