Abstract

Explicit robust multi-parametric feedback control laws are designed for constrained dynamic systems involving uncertainty in the left-hand side(LHS) of the underlying MPC optimization model. Our proposed procedure features: (i) a robust reformulation/optimization step, (ii) a dynamic programming framework for the model predictive control (MPC) problem formulation, and (iii) a multi-parametric programming solution step.
