Stability and feasibility of receding horizon control
Prof. Manfred Morari (ETH Zurich)
ABSTRACT:
Two recent results in research of Receding Horizon Control are
presented. An explicit infinite horizon controller is presented for the
first time. Furthermore, a novel analysis technique for Receding Horizon
Control, capable of testing stability and feasibility of the closed-loop
system is presented.
