Dimension Reduction for Efficient Data-Enabled Predictive Control

In this letter, we propose a simple yet effective singular value decomposition (SVD) based strategy to reduce the optimization problem dimension in data-enabled predictive control (DeePC). Specifically, in the case of linear time-invariant systems, the excessive input/output measurements can be rearranged into a smaller data library for the non-parametric representation of system behavior. Based on this observation, we develop an SVD-based strategy to pre-process the offline data that achieves dimension reduction in DeePC. Numerical experiments confirm that the proposed method significantly enhances the computation efficiency without sacrificing the control performance.
