We show that the optimal control sequence is a piecewise linear function of the initial state. Thus, when the optimal control problem is solved at each time step according to a moving horizon scheme, the on-line computation of the resulting MPC controller is reduced to a simple linear function evaluation. In this paper the uncertainty is modeled as an additive norm-bounded input disturbance vector. The technique can be also extended to robust control of constrained systems affected by polyhedral parametric uncertainty. date: 2001 publication: Proc.
