Stability of data-driven Koopman MPC with terminal conditions

Abstract: This paper derives conditions under which Model Predictive Control (MPC) with terminal conditions, using a data-driven surrogate model as a prediction model, asymptotically stabilizes the plant despite approximation errors. In particular, we prove recursive feasibility and asymptotic stability if a proportional error bound holds, where proportional means that the bound is linear in the norm of the state and the input. For a broad class of nonlinear systems, this condition can be satisfied using data-driven surrogate models generated by kernel Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (kEDMD) using the Koopman operator. Last, the applicability of the proposed framework is demonstrated in a numerical case study.
