Abstract:A Pontryagin-based approach to solve a class of constrained Nonlinear Model Predictive Control problems is proposed which employs the method of barrier functions for dealing with the state constraints. Unlike the existing works in literature the proposed method is able to cope with nonlinear input and state constraints without any significant modification of the optimization algorithm. A stability analysis of the closed-loop system is carried out by using the L 2 -norm of the predicted state tracking error as … Show more
