Nonlinear model predictive control using robust fixed point transformation-based phenomena for controlling tumor growth

Abstract

In this paper a novel control strategy is introduced in order to create optimal dosage profiles for individualized cancer treatment. This approach uses Nonlinear Model Predictive Control to construct optimal dosage protocols in conjunction with Robust Fixed Point Transformations which hinders the negative effect of inherent model uncertainties and measurement disturbances. The results are validated by extensive simulation on the proposed control algorithm from which conclusions were drawn.
