Abstract

The results developed so far in this book can be extended in many ways. In this chapter we present a selection of possible variants and extensions. Some of these introduce new combinations of techniques developed in the previous chapters, others relax some of the previous assumptions in order to obtain more general results or strengthen assumptions in order to derive stronger results. Several sections contain algorithmic ideas which can be added on top of the basic NMPC schemes from the previous chapters. Parts of this chapter contain results which are somewhat preliminary and are thus subject to further research. Some sections have a survey like style and, in contrast to the other chapters of this book, proofs are occasionally only sketched with appropriate references to the literature.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Integral costs (3.4) can be treated, too, but this is somewhat more technical, cf. Grüne, von Lossow, Pannek and Worthmann [21, Sect. 4.2].

  2. 2.

    For more information on these algorithms see Chap. 10 and for numerical aspects of the theory in this chapter in particular Sect. 10.6.
