Fikar, M., Unbehauen, H., Mikles, J.: Relations between stable predictive control and pole placement. IFAC World Congress Barcelona, Spain, July 21--26, 2002. CD-ROM Proceedings, Session: T-Fr-M18, File: 1104.pdf.

In this paper, several relations between pole placement (PP) controller and unconstrained predictive controller are investigated. The placement of poles at certain positions leads to various types of time optimal control and has a direct relation to the choice of minimum control and output horizons for stabilising MPC. On the other hand, a predictive control method for linear systems is derived that can be turned into some well known stabilising MPC methods. This MPC method is closely related to the PP design.
