MPC schemes guaranteeing ISDS and ISS for nonlinear (time-delay) systems (Q1955416)

Summary: New directions in model predictive control (MPC) are introduced. On the one hand, we combine the input-to-state dynamical stability (ISDS) with MPC for single and interconnected systems. On the other hand, we introduce MPC schemes guaranteeing input-to-state stability (ISS) of single systems and networks with time delays. In both directions, recent results of the stability analysis from the mentioned areas are applied using Lyapunov function(al)s to show that the corresponding cost function(al) of the MPC scheme is a Lyapunov function(al). For networks, we show that under a small-gain condition and with an optimal control obtained by an MPC scheme for networks, it has the ISDS property or ISS property, respectively.
