A priori sufficient conditions for Lyapunov asymptotic stability and exponential stability are derived in the terminal cost and constraint set fashion, while allowing for discontinuous system dynamics and discontinuous MPC value functions. For constrained piecewise affine (PWA) systems as prediction models, we present novel techniques for computing a terminal cost and a terminal constraint set that satisfy the developed stabilization conditions. For quadratic MPC costs, these conditions translate into a linear matrix inequality while, for MPC costs based on 1, infin-norms, they are obtained as norm inequalities. New ways for calculating low complexity piecewise polyhedral positively invariant sets for PWA systems are also presented. An example illustrates the developed theory date: 2006-11 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control volume: 51 number: 11 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1813-1818 id_number: 10.1109/TAC.2006.883059 refereed: TRUE issn: 0018-9286 related_url_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4012327&isnumber=4012312 citation: Lazar, Mircea and Heemels, W.P.M.H. and Weiland, Siep and Bemporad, Alberto Stabilizing model predictive control of hybrid systems.
