This paper investigates the parameter-dependent open-loop model predictive control (PDOLMPC) scheme for systems with a polytopic uncertainty description. PDOLMPC parameterizes the infinite horizon control moves into a number of free control moves followed by a single state feedback law. The free control moves (excluding the first one) are parameter dependent and constructed upon all of the extreme realizations of the uncertainty before the switching horizon N . Our primary contribution is to point out that this PDOLMPC is a relaxed version of the feedback MPC. Thus, some properties of nominal MPC, such as enhancement of optimality and enlargement of region of attraction by increasing the switching horizon, can be inherited in PDOLMPC. These properties are theoretically important for robust MPC and a simulation example is given for demonstration.
