MPC in Simulink Tutorial

% Based on the State Space MPC code in MATLAB Central, a Simulink block of
% the State Space MPC is developed using sfunction. Two examples to use
% this MPC block, one with a continous time state space plant and another
% with a discrete space state plant are included in the tutorial. These two
% plant can be replaced by a corresponding nonlinear model in
% continous-time or discrete-time.

State Space MPC code.

Discrete-time plant model

The Simulink model for discrete-time state-space plant is as follows.
