Abstract

This chapter considers the closed-loop properties of stochastic MPC strategies based on the predicted costs and probabilistic constraints formulated in Chap. 6. To make the analysis of closed-loop stability and performance possible, it must first be ensured that the MPC law is well-defined at all times and the most natural way to approach this is to ensure that the associated receding horizon optimization problem remains feasible whenever it is initially feasible . We therefore begin by discussing the conditions for recursive feasibility.
