Dynamic Event-Triggered Asynchronous MPC of Markovian Jump Systems With Disturbances.

Abstract

This article investigates the model predictive control (MPC) for discrete-time Markov jump systems (MJSs). First, the asynchronization between the modes of the controller and those of the plant is studied. An asynchronous MPC controller is designed to tackle this issue. Next, to reduce the computational cost and communication burden, a version of the dynamic event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is presented. Finally, the exogenous disturbances are considered and the notion of mean-square input-to-state stability (ISS) is taken into account in the controller design. The highlight of this article is the introduction of both dynamic ETM and asynchronous control into the MPC design. The control algorithm is developed and formulated as a convex optimization problem. Moreover, the recursive feasibility and the closed-loop mean-square ISS are both studied. Finally, some simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the derived MPC method.
