Maximum Likelihood Identification of Linear Models with Integrating Disturbances for Offset-Free Control
Steven J. Kuntz, James B. Rawlings
This report addresses the maximum likelihood identification of models for offset-free model predictive control, where linear time-invariant models are augmented with (fictitious) u…
Offset-free model predictive control: stability under plant-model mismatch
Steven J. Kuntz, James B. Rawlings
We present the first general stability results for nonlinear offset-free model predictive control (MPC). Despite over twenty years of active research, the offset-free MPC literatur…
Beyond inherent robustness: strong stability of MPC despite plant-model mismatch
Steven J. Kuntz, James B. Rawlings
In this technical report, we establish the asymptotic stability of MPC under plant-model mismatch for problems where the origin remains a steady state despite mismatch. This class…
Background results for robust minmax control of linear dynamical systems
James B. Rawlings, Davide Mannini, Steven J. Kuntz
The purpose of this note is to summarize the arguments required to derive the results appearing in robust minmax control of linear dynamical systems using a quadratic stage cost. T…
