function [u,U,J] = ppp_qp (x,W,J_uu,J_ux,J_uw,Us0,Gamma,gamma)

  ## usage:  [u,U] = ppp_qp (x,W,J_uu,J_ux,J_uw,Gamma,gamma)
  ## INPUTS:
  ##      x: system state    
  ##      W: Setpoint vector
  ##      J_uu,J_ux,J_uw: Cost derivatives (see ppp_lin)
  ##      Us0: value of U* at tau=0 (see ppp_lin)
  ##      Gamma, gamma: U constrained by Gamma*U <= gamma 
  ## Outputs:
  ##      u: control signal
  ##      U: control weight vector
  ##
  ## Predictive pole-placement of linear systems using quadratic programming
  ## Use ppp_input_constraint and ppp_output_constraint to generate Gamma and gamma
  ## Use ppp_lin to generate J_uu,J_ux,J_uw
  ## Use ppp_cost to evaluate resultant cost function
