Abstract in another language

In this chapter, on the one hand by means of two examples we show the impact mathematics had in the long history of control engineering and the factors which have been fundamental for the success of control methods. On the other hand we introduce a modern control method in more detail, namely model predictive control (MPC). We briefly explain the underlying mathematical concepts from systems theory, numerics, and optimization and sketch some future challenges.
