Robust Explicit MPC Based on Approximate Multiparametric Convex Programming.

Many robust model predictive control (MPC) schemes require the online solution of a computationally demanding convex program. For deterministic MPC schemes, multiparametric programming was successfully applied to move offline most of the computation. In this paper, we adopt a general approximate multiparametric algorithm recently suggested for convex problems and propose to apply it to a classical robust MPC scheme. This approach enables one to implement a robust MPC controller in real time for systems with polytopic uncertainty, ensuring robust constraint satisfaction and robust convergence to a given bounded set.
