Tube-based robust nonlinear model predictive control

TL;DR: In this article, a tube-based model predictive control of linear systems is proposed to achieve robust control of nonlinear systems subject to additive disturbances, where the local linear controller is replaced by an ancillary model predictive controller that forces the trajectories of the disturbed system to lie in a tube whose center is the reference trajectory.
