One of the main reasons for this is that the control action is based on the open-loop prediction of the evolution of the system, because the uncertainty due to the disturbance grows as time proceeds on the prediction horizon. On the other hand, such an effect can be moderated by adopting a closed-loop prediction. In this paper, closed-loop prediction is achieved by including a free feedback matrix gain in the set of optimization variables. This allows one to balance computational burden and reduction of conservativeness date: 1998 date_type: published publication: Proc. 37th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control volume: 2 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: Tampa, Florida, December 1998 pagerange: 1384-1391 event_dates: Tampa, FL id_number: 10.1109/CDC.1998.758479 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-4394-8 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=758479&isnumber=16376 citation: Bemporad, Alberto Reducing conservativeness in predictive control of constrained systems with disturbances.
