Audit review
The paper proves KMPC convexity and derives a condensed quadratic program by stacking predictions (Y = MV + Cz) and input-increment relations (ΔV = DV + Cv), yielding a QP min V^T F V + q^T V with linear box constraints; the candidate solution performs the same elimination but chooses ΔV as the decision variable and uses the cumulative-sum map, arriving at the identical convex QP structure. Differences are only representational (V vs ΔV, D vs cumulative L), not substantive.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} Solid technical contribution marrying dictionary-free Koopman lifting with a convex MPC design, including a clear condensed QP. Numerical examples convincingly demonstrate advantages. Minor issues—sign conventions for weights and a slight inconsistency about whether the dense QP is posed in V or ΔV—can be fixed easily.
