Robust Model Predictive Control

TLDR
It is shown that the required minimax optimization can be recast as a linear program for uncertainty descriptions which provide impulse response models as affine functions of uncertain parameters.
Abstract
Concepts of model predictive control are extended to uncertain linear systems. An on-line optimizing control scheme is developed which has as its objective the minimization of the worst-case tracking error for a family of linear plants. For uncertainty descriptions which provide impulse response models as affine functions of uncertain parameters, it is shown that the required minimax optimization can be recast as a linear program. Situations which lead to such an uncertainty description are discussed. An example is presented to demonstrate the properties of the proposed control scheme.

Robust constrained model predictive control using linear matrix inequalities

TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach for robust MPC synthesis that allows explicit incorporation of the description of plant uncertainty in the problem formulation, and shows that the feasible receding horizon state-feedback control design robustly stabilizes the set of uncertain plants.

Robust constrained model predictive control using linear matrix inequalities

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the robustness issue in MPC by directly incorporating the description of plant uncertainty in the MPC problem formulation, where the plant uncertainty is expressed in the time domain by allowing the state-space matrices of the discrete-time plant to be arbitrarily time-varying and belonging to a polytope.

Robust control of ill-conditioned plants: high-purity distillation

TL;DR: In this article, a high-purity distillation column is used to explain the physical reason for poor conditioning and its implications on control system design and performance, and it is shown that an acceptable performance/robustness tradeoff cannot be obtained by simple loop-shaping techniques (using singular values) and that a good understanding of the model uncertainty is essential for robust control systems design.
