Therefore, the feedback interconnection between the MPC controller and a linear system, or a PWA system (e.g., a PWA approximation of a nonlinear system), is a PWA system. For discrete-time PWA and hybrid systems, the present authors (2000) presented an algorithm for verification/reachability analysis. In this paper, we formulate the performance analysis problem of closed-loop PWA systems (including MPC feedback loops where the prediction model and the plant model could be different) as a reachability analysis problem, and use our algorithm to obtain a tool for characterizing (i) the set of states for which the evolution is feasible, (ii) the domain of stability, (iii) the performance of the closed-loop date: 2000 date_type: published publication: Proc. 39th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control volume: 5 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: Sydney, Australia December, 2000 pagerange: 4957-4962 event_dates: Sydney, Australia id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2001.914718 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-6638-7 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=914718&isnumber=19751 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Torrisi, Fabio Danilo and Morari, Manfred Performance analysis of piecewise linear systems and model predictive control systems.
