A neurodynamic approach to bicriteria model predictive control of nonlinear affine systems based on a Goal Programming formulation

Abstract

This paper presents a neurodynamic approach to bicriteria model predictive control (MPC) of nonlinear affine systems based on a goal programming formulation. Bicriteria MPC refers to finding optimal control inputs that minimizes two performance indexes corresponding to tracking errors and control efforts. The bicriteria MPC is formulated as the solution to a nonlinear optimization problem via goal programming technique and is solved by using a two-layer recurrent neural network. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
