Alexander Mattick says NMPC can be treated in advanced control theory as a plug-in solution using a large nonlinear model and an optimization method, although it may run slowly even with a small model.

“If you go to a university and you're looking for the advanced control theory lecture and the lecture after doing NMPC, they're all completely NMPC built because they say, well, I don't need to do basically anything.”

“I can just,”

“I have my huge nonlinear.”

“non linear model, I just throw something like M_P_P_I_ against it and it just works and I don't need to do anything else. And then they note as well”

“Actually, this takes a while to run, even if my model is really small,”
