Abstract: For Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems with bounded rates of parameter variations and bounded parameter measurement errors, a feedback Robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) is designed by utilising the information on system parameters. A sequence of feedback control laws is designed based on the model with parameter-incremental uncertainty. Since the sequence of feedback control laws corresponds to the future variations of system parameters and introduces additional freedom, the control performance of RMPC can be improved. The recursive feasibility and closed-loop stability of the proposed RMPC are also proven.

Keywords: feedback RMPC; LPV systems; bounded rates; parameter variations; measurement errors; linear parameter varying systems; robust model predictive control; feedback control; control laws; uncertainty; recursive feasibility; closed-loop stability.
