Abstract
Max-plus-linear models can be used to model discrete-event systems with only
synchronization and no concurrency. The synchronization constraints in
max-plus-linear discrete-event systems are hard, i.e., they cannot be broken
under any circumstance. We consider a class of discrete-event systems with both
hard and soft synchronization constraints, i.e., if necessary, some
synchronization conditions may be broken, but then a penalty is incurred. We
show that - after introducing control variables - this leads to a
max-plus-bilinear model. Furthermore, we also show how the model predictive
control (MPC) framework can be extended to this class of discrete-event
systems.
