Closed-loop analysis of linear stochastic MPC with risk-averse constraints

Jonas Schießl, Ruchuan Ou, Michael H. Baumann +2

Chance constraints are widely used in stochastic model predictive control (MPC) to enforce probabilistic state and input constraints in the presence of unbounded disturbances. Howe…

PolyOCP.jl -- A Julia Package for Stochastic OCPs and MPC

Ruchuan Ou, Learta Januzi, Jonas Schießl +3

The consideration of stochastic uncertainty in optimal and predictive control is a well-explored topic. Recently Polynomial Chaos Expansions (PCE) have received considerable attent…

Stability and performance of stochastic economic MPC -- Stochastic characterization of the closed-loop asymptotics

Jonas Schießl, Hannah Selder, Ruchuan Ou +3

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is well understood in the deterministic setting, yet rigorous stability and performance guarantees for stochastic MPC remain limited to the considera…

Towards turnpike-based performance analysis of risk-averse stochastic predictive control

Jonas Schießl, Ruchuan Ou, Michael H. Baumann +2

In this paper, we present performance estimates for stochastic economic MPC schemes with risk-averse cost formulations. For MPC algorithms with costs given by expectations, it was…

A Stochastic Fundamental Lemma with Reduced Disturbance Data Requirements

Ruchuan Ou, Guanru Pan, Timm Faulwasser

Recently, the fundamental lemma by Willems et al. has been extended towards stochastic LTI systems subject to process disturbances. Using this lemma requires previously recorded da…

Near-optimal performance of stochastic economic MPC

Jonas Schießl, Ruchuan Ou, Timm Faulwasser +2

This paper presents first results for near optimality in expectation of the closed-loop solutions for stochastic economic MPC. The approach relies on a recently developed turnpike…

A Polynomial Chaos Approach to Stochastic LQ Optimal Control: Error Bounds and Infinite-Horizon Results

Ruchuan Ou, Jonas Schießl, Michael Heinrich Baumann +2

The stochastic linear--quadratic regulator problem subject to Gaussian disturbances is well known and usually addressed via a moment-based reformulation. Here, we leverage polynomi…
