Abstract:
Developed is a robust model predictive control scheme for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems. The system is described in linear fractional transformation form in the presence of model uncertainty and induced norm bounded disturbances. The objective is to minimize the upper bound of an infinite horizon cost function subject to a terminal inequality. A Lyapunov function analysis for the switched system shows guaranteed closed-loop stability. Taking into account the switching structure of the system, the predictive control design problem along with sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution is expressed in terms of Riccati-Metzler inequalities. Then, these inequalities are turned into a linear matrix inequality feasibility problem. Three cases are analyzed to demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed robust model predictive controller for switched discrete-time linear systems.

Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
