AbstractThe receding}horizon (RH) methodology is extended to the design of a robust controller of H type for nonlinear systems. Using the nonlinear analogue of the Fake H algebraic Riccati equation, we derive an inverse optimality result for the RH schemes for which increasing the horizon causes a decrease of the optimal cost function. This inverse optimality result shows that the input}output map of the closed-loop system obtained with the RH control law has a bounded¸-gain. Robustness properties of the nonlinear H control law in face of dynamic input uncertainty are considered.
