STABLE RECEDING HORIZON CONTROL-BASED ON RECURRENT NETWORKS

The last decade has seen the reemergence of artificial neural networks as an alternative to traditional modelling techniques for the control of nonlinear systems. Numerous control schemes have been proposed and have been shown to work in simulations. However, very few analyses ha ve been made of the working of these networks. The authors show that a receding horizon control strategy based on a class of recurrent netwo rks can stabilise nonlinear systems.
