In this paper an optimal predictive iterative learning control algorithm proposed earlier in the research literature is analyzed in detail. As a new major result is is shown that by using the future inputs from the predictive algorithm a faster convergence rate can be achieved when compared to the current approach which utilizes the reciding horizon principle. Furthermore, the nature of the convergence of this new scheme is analyzed in detail in terms of the free parameters of the algorithm.
