%P 3218-3219 %I IEEE %T Constrained predictive control with terminal ellipsoid constraint and artificial Lyapunov functions %B Decision and Control Conference %X We deal with the problem of satisfying input and/or state hard constraints in set-point tracking problems. Stability is guaranteed by synthesizing a Lyapunov quadratic function for the system, and by imposing that the terminal state lies within a level set of the function. Algorithmic procedures to maximize the volume of such an ellipsoidal set are provided %C San Diego, December 1997 %L eprints603 %A Alberto Bemporad %A Edoardo Mosca %R 10.1109/CDC.1997.652338 %D 1997 %K Lyapunov methods; asymptotic stability; closed loop systems; discrete time systems; predictive control; process control tracking %V 4 %J Proc. 36th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control
