Analysis of Unconstrained Nonlinear MPC Schemes with Time Varying Control Horizons

Optimization and Control 2012-04-02 v1

Abstract

For nonlinear discrete time systems satisfying a controllability condition, we present a stability condition for model predictive control without stabilizing terminal constraints or costs. The condition is given in terms of an analytical formula which can be employed in order to determine a prediction horizon length for which asymptotic stability or a performance guarantee is ensured. Based on this formula a sensitivity analysis with respect to the prediction and the possibly time varying control horizon is carried out.
