ROBUST PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF SYSTEMS WITH UNCERTAIN IMPULSE-RESPONSE

This note presents an unconstrained predictive control algorithm for s table systems described in terms of impulse representation. Closed-loo p nominal stability is guaranteed by imposing only one terminal constr aint at the end of the prediction horizon. Robustness with respect to uncertainties in the impulse response coefficients is enhanced by mean s of an additional 'robustifying' regulator that does not modify nomin al tracking performances. The synthesis of this regulator does not req uire any extra computational burden. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scien ce Ltd.
