Min-max MPC using a tractable QP problem
Min-max model predictive controllers (MMMPC) suffer from a great computational burden that is often circumvented by using approximate solutions or upper bounds of the worst possible case of a performance index. This paper proposes a computationally efficient MMMPC control strategy in which a close approximation of the solution of the min-max problem is computed using a quadratic programming problem. The overall computational burden is much lower than that of the min-max problem and the resulting control is shown to have a guaranteed stability. A simulation example is given in the paper.
