Abstract

This work presents a stochastic tube-based model predictive control framework that guarantees hard input constraint satisfaction for linear systems subject to unbounded additive disturbances. The approach relies on a structured design of probabilistic reachable sets that explicitly incorporates actuator saturation into the error dynamics and bounds the resulting nonlinearity within a convex embedding. The proposed controller retains the computational efficiency and structural advantages of stochastic tube-based approaches while ensuring state chance constraint satisfaction alongside hard input limits. Recursive feasibility and mean-square stability are established for our scheme, and a numerical example illustrates its effectiveness.
