A Robustly Stabilizing Model Predictive Control Algorithm

A model predictive control (MPC) algorithm that differs from prior MPC algorithms has been developed for controlling an uncertain nonlinear system. This algorithm guarantees the resolvability of an associated finite-horizon optimal-control problem in a recedinghorizon implementation. Given a feasible solution to the finite-horizon optimal control problem at an initial time, resolvability implies the ability to solve the optimal control problem at subsequent times.
