Stability and Convergence of a Randomized Model Predictive Control Strategy

Abstract

RBM-MPC is a computationally efficient variant of Model Predictive Control (MPC) in which the Random Batch Method (RBM) is used to speed up the finite-horizon optimal control problems at each iteration. In this paper, stability and convergence estimates are derived for RBMMPC of unconstrained linear systems. The obtained estimates are validated in a numerical example that also shows a clear computational advantage of RBM-MPC.
