Efstratios N. Pistikopoulos
Professor Pistikopoulos is the Director of the Texas A&M Energy Institute and a TEES Eminent Professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. He was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK (1991–2015), and the Director of its Centre for Process Systems Engineering (2002–2009). He holds a PhD degree from Carnegie Mellon University and he worked with Shell Chemicals in Amsterdam before joining Imperial. He has authored or co‐authored over 500 major research publications in the areas of modeling, control and optimization of process, and energy and systems engineering applications, 12 books, and 2 patents. He is a co‐founder of Process Systems Enterprise (PSE) Ltd., a Fellow of AIChE and IChemE and the current Editor‐in‐Chief of Computers & Chemical Engineering. In 2007, he was a co‐recipient of the prestigious MacRobert Award from the Royal Academy of Engineering. In 2012, he was the recipient of the Computing in Chemical Engineering Award of CAST/AIChE. He received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa from the University Politehnica of Bucharest in 2014, and from the University of Pannonia in 2015. In 2013, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in the United Kingdom.
Nikolaos A. Diangelakis
Dr. Diangelakis is an Optimization Specialist at Octeract Ltd. in London, UK, a massively parallel global optimization software firm. He was a postdoctoral research associate at Texas A&M University and Texas A&M Energy Institute. He holds a PhD and M.Sc. on Advanced Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London and has been a member of the “Multi‐parametric Optimization and Control Group” since late 2011. He earned his bachelor degree in 2011 from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). His main research interests are on the area of optimal receding horizon strategies for chemical and energy processes while simultaneously optimizing their design. For that purpose, he is investigating novel solution methods for classes of non‐linear, robust, and multi‐parametric optimization programming problems. He is the main developer of the PARametric Optimization and Control (PAROC) platform and co‐developer of the Parametric OPtimization (POP) toolbox. In 2016 he was chosen as one of five participants in the “Distinguished Junior Researcher Seminars” in Northwestern University, organized by Prof. Fengqi You. In 2017 he received the third place in EFCE's “Excellence Award in Recognition of Outstanding PhD Thesis on CAPE.” He is the coauthor of 16 peer reviewed articles, 11 conference papers and 3 book chapters.
Richard Oberdieck
Richard Oberdieck is a Technical Account Manager at Gurobi Optimization, LLC, one of the leading mathematical optimization software companies. He obtained a bachelor and MSc degrees from ETH Zurich in Switzerland (2009–1013), before pursuing a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK, which he completed in 2017. During is PhD, he discovered fundamental properties of multi‐parametric programming problems and implemented them in the Parametric Optimization (POP) toolbox, of which he was the main developer.

Preface
Many optimization problems involve parameters that are unknown, either because they cannot be measured, or because they represent information about the future (e.g. future state of a system, future disturbance, future demand). Multi‐parametric programming is a technique for the solution of such class of uncertain optimization problems. Through multi‐parametric programming, one can obtain the optimization variables of the problem as a function of the bounded uncertain parameters, and the regions (in the space of the parameters) where these functions are valid.
Theoretic and algorithmic developments on multi‐parametric programming, along with applications in the area of process systems engineering, have been constantly emerging during the last 30 years.
A variety of algorithms for the solution of a range of classes of multi‐parametric programming problems have been developed, with our group publishing over 80 manuscripts, 21 books and book chapters, and 2 patents on the subject. We have further developed a MATLAB© based toolbox, POP©, for the solution of various classes of multi‐parametric programming and a framework, PAROC©, for the development of explicit model predictive controllers.
This book aims to enable fundamental understanding in the areas of multi‐parametric optimization and control. We hope that by the end of the book, the reader will be able to not only understand almost all aspects of multi‐parametric programming, but also judge the key characteristics and particulars of the various techniques developed for different mathematical programming problems, use the tools to solve parametric problems, and finally, develop explicit model predictive controllers.
The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of optimization and the basic theories and definitions used in multi‐parametric optimization. Then, two main parts follow, providing a clear distinction between algorithmic developments and
