A method of computing a new model predictive control (MPC) law for linear parameter varying systems with input constraints is proposed. The proposed method improves feasibility and system performance by deriving a new sufficient condition for the cost monotonicity. The control problem is formulated as a minimisation of the upper bound of finite horizon cost function satisfying the sufficient conditions. The relaxation matrices yield less conservative sufficient condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities so that it allows to design a more robust MPC. A numerical example is included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
