Control with constraints for linear stationary systems: An interpolation approach

Abstract

We propose a new approach to controlling a discrete linear stationary system with a polyhedral constraint on the state and input. The basic idea is to use interpolation. The control law has both explicit and implicit forms. In the implicit form, at any moment of time, at most two linear programming problems are solved online. In the explicit form, the control law contains piecewise affine and continuous functions of state. This method can be viewed as an alternative to predictive control. We show proofs of recursive realizability and asymptotic stability.
