Abstract

In this paper robustness analysis and synthesis of state-feedback nonlinear Receding-Horizon (RH) control schemes is considered. In particular, robustness properties based on the monotonicity of the cost function and on inverse optimality are discussed. A particular attention is devoted to a new RH synthesis approach based on the solution of a finite-horizon dynamic game. This control law guarantees that the L 2 gain of the closed-loop is less than or equal to a given number γ in a prescribed neighbourhood of the equilibrium state.
