IAAC International Symposium in Systems & Control, 7-8 October 2013, Technion, Haifa, Israel P-O Gutman: Constrained control of uncertain linear time-invariant systems: an interpolation based approach Constrained control of uncertain linear time- invariant systems: an interpolation based approach Per-Olof Gutman Abstract: In this paper, a novel approach to control uncertain discrete-time linear time-invariant systems with polytopic state and control constraints is proposed. The main idea is to use interpolation. The control law has an implicit and explicit form. In the implicit form, at each time instant, at most two linear programming problems are solved on-line. In the explicit form, the control law is given as a piecewise a-ne and continuous function of the state. The design method can be seen as a computationally favorable alternative to optimization-based control schemes such as Model Predictive Control. Proofs of recursive feasibility and asymptotic stability are given. Several simulations demonstrate the performance, also in comparison with MPC. Ext- ensions include output feedback, LPV and time-varying systems, and ellipsoidal constraint sets.

IAAC International Symposium in Systems & Control, 7-8 October 2013, Technion, Haifa, Israel P-O Gutman: Constrained control of uncertain linear time-invariant systems: an interpolation based approach A novel interpolation between a global vertex control law and a local control law, that may be locally optimal. A method to avoid the explicit computation of the vertex control values. Like MPC, the new controller tends to get the state away from the constraints when near them, and satisfy performance specifications when near the set point. Proofs of constrained stability for uncertain plants and bounded disturbances, and output feedback Like MPC, the new control law is affine over a polyhedral partition of the feasible control invariant set. The interpolating control law is considerably simpler than MPC with fewer polyhedral cells in the explicit case; and, in the implicit case, with extremely simple and fast LP-computations whose computational requirements are orders of magnitude less than MPC. Extension to LMI based interpolating control with ellipsoidal state constraint sets. Extension to interpolating control with quadratic cost. Extensions to time-varying and LPV systems.
