Globally stable and locally optimal model predictive control using a softened initial state constraint -- extended version (2207.10216v1)

Published 20 Jul 2022 in math.OC, cs.SY, and eess.SY

Abstract: To address feasibility issues in model predictive control (MPC), most implementations relax hard state constraints using additional slack variables with a suitable penalty. We propose an alternative strategy for open-loop asymptotically/Lyapunov stable nonlinear systems by relaxing the initial state constraint with a suitable penalty. The proposed MPC framework is globally feasible, ensures (semi-)global asymptotic stability, and (approximately) recovers the closed-loop properties of the nominal MPC on the feasible set. The proposed framework can be naturally combined with a robust formulation to ensure robustness subject to bounded disturbances while retaining input-ot-state stability in case of arbitrarily large disturbances. We also show how the overall design can be simplified in case the nonlinear system is exponentially stable. In the special case of linear systems, the proposed MPC formulation reduces to a quadratic program and the offline design and online computational complexity is only marginally increased compared to anominal design. Benefits compared to classical soft contrained MPC formulations are demonstrated with numerical examples.
