Practical stabilization of receding-horizon control

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to propose a scheme to stabilize the predictive control systems in the practical stability sense. In the paper, the authors dealt with a general discrete predictive control system x_j+1|t=f(x_j|t, u_j|t) by using the Lyapunov direct method combining with receding-horizon control technique, and presented a new condition to guarantee the practical stabilization of the systems. With the proposed results, one can design the optimal controllers easily to practically stabilize the predictive control systems.
