DESCRIPTION:The talk is concerned with a novel robust model predictive con
 trol synthesis method termed \nparameterized tube model predictive control
 . This novel proposal supersedes the state of the \nart robust model predi
 ctive control algorithms including the several generations of tube model \
 npredictive control as well as robust model predictive control utilizing t
 he so–called disturbance \naffine control policy. Our method allows uniq
 uely for simultaneous online optimization of state and \ncontrol tubes as 
 well as the corresponding control policy via single linear/quadratic progr
 amme. \nThe employed parameterization of the state and control tubes and t
 he associated induced control \npolicy offers greater generality compared
  to competing methods while it retains the desirable \ndegree of computati
 onal tractability. Under rather mild and natural assumptions\, the propose
 d \nparameterized tube model predictive control provides a–priori guaran
 tees of the desirable strong \nsystem theoretic properties including relev
 ant set invariance and robust stability properties. We \nalso deliver seve
 ral illustrative examples demonstrating clear advantages over the state of
  the art \nrobust model predictive control synthesis methods. \n
