These developments generated an increasing interest towards issues such as stability and computational problems that arise in hybrid MPC. Stability aspects have been addressed only marginally. In this paper we present an extension of the terminal cost and constraint set method for guaranteeing stability in MPC to the class of constrained piecewise affine systems. Semidefinite programming is used to calculate the employed terminal weight matrix that ensures stability for quadratic cost based MPC. A procedure for computing a robust positively invariant set for piecewise linear systems is also developed. The implementation of the proposed method is illustrated by an example. date: 2004-12 date_type: published publication: Proc. 43th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control volume: 5 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: 14th-17th December 2004 pagerange: 4595-4600 event_dates: Paradise Island, Bahamas id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2004.1429508 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-8682-5 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1429508&isnumber=30839 citation: Lazar, Mircea and Heemels, W.P.M.H. and Weiland, Siep and Bemporad, Alberto Stabilization conditions for model predictive control of constrained PWA systems.
