We prove that Lyapunov stability can be achieved for the closed-loop system even though the considered Lyapunov function and the system dynamics may be discontinuous. The stabilization conditions are derived using a terminal cost and constraint set method. An S-procedure technique is employed to reduce conservativeness of the stabilization conditions and a linear matrix inequalities set-up is developed in order to calculate the terminal cost. A new algorithm for computing piecewise polyhedral positively invariant sets for PWA systems is also presented. In this manner, the on-line optimization problem associated with MPC leads to a mixed integer quadratic programming problem, which can be solved by standard optimization tools. %I IEEE %K Lyapunov function; Lyapunov stability; S-procedure technique; asymptotic stability; closed-loop system; constrained PWA systems; constraint set method; discrete-time PWA systems; hybrid systems; linear matrix inequalities; mixed integer quadratic programming problem; model predictive control; online optimization problem; piecewise affine systems; piecewise polyhedral positively invariant sets; quadratic cost; quadratic forms; terminal cost method; Lyapunov methods; asymptotic stability; discrete time systems; integer programming; linear matrix inequalities; piecewise polynomial techniques; predictive control; quadratic programming %T On the stability of quadratic forms based model predictive control of constrained PWA systems %P 575-580
