“…Linear synchronous motor (LSM) drives have recently become popular in high-end CNC machines. With the increasing demand for the LSM performance, such as fast response, high precision, and strong robustness [1], various advanced control strategies have been developed, including adaptive fuzzy control [2,3,4], sliding mode control [5,6,7,8], and model predictive control (MPC) [9,10,11,12,13]. Among these advanced methods, the MPC is famous for its advantages of the simple model, flexible design principle, and high precision [14].…”
