Stochastic Model Predictive Control with Discounted Probabilistic Constraints
This paper considers linear discrete-time systems with additive disturbances,
and designs a Model Predictive Control (MPC) law to minimise a quadratic cost
function subject to a chance constraint. The chance constraint is defined as a
discounted sum of violation probabilities on an infinite horizon. By penalising
violation probabilities close to the initial time and ignoring violation
probabilities in the far future, this form of constraint enables the
feasibility of the online optimisation to be guaranteed without an assumption
of boundedness of the disturbance. A computationally convenient MPC
optimisation problem is formulated using Chebyshev's inequality and we
introduce an online constraint-tightening technique to ensure recursive
feasibility based on knowledge of a suboptimal solution. The closed loop system
is guaranteed to satisfy the chance constraint and a quadratic stability
condition.Comment: 6 pages, Conference Proceeding
