Enlarging the terminal region of nonlinear model predictive control using the support vector machine method
In this paper, Receding Horizon Model Predictive Control (RHMPC) of nonlinear systems subject to input and state constraints is considered. We propose to estimate the terminal reg...

A new autocovariance least-squares method for estimating noise covariances
Industrial implementation of model-based control methods, such as model predictive control, is often complicated by the lack of knowledge about the disturbances entering the syste...

Improving off-line approach to robust MPC based-on nominal performance cost
This paper gives two alternative off-line synthesis approaches to robust model predictive control (RMPC) for systems with polytopic description. In each approach, a sequence of ex...
