“…Over the past few decades, due to its practical insights, the model predictive control (MPC) problem has attracted considerable research interest in systems with bounded disturbances, which gives rise to robust MPC (RMPC), see [4], [10], [17], [35] for discrete-time systems and [21], [26]- [28] for continuous-time systems. Up to date, RMPC strategy has been extensively applied into various engineering areas such as chemical process, power systems, DC motors and mobile robots [8], [10]- [14], [31], [36]. From the technical viewpoint, there are generally two approaches dealing with the external bounded disturbances for discrete-time systems with respect to the RMPC problem, namely, the "min-max" optimization approach [24] and the open-loop optimization approach [3], [15].…”
