The control law is approximated in an optimal way over a regular simplicial partition of a given set of states of interest. The stability properties of the resulting closed-loop system are analyzed by constructing a suitable PWA Lyapunov function. The main advantage of the proposed approach to the implementation of MPC controllers is that the resulting stabilizing approximate MPC controller can be implemented on chip with sampling times in the order of tens of nanoseconds. date: 2011-12 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control volume: 56 number: 12 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 2883-2897 id_number: 10.1109/TAC.2011.2141410 refereed: TRUE issn: 0018-9286 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5746505&isnumber=4601496 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Oliveri, Alberto and Poggi, Tomaso and Storace, Marco Ultra-fast stabilizing model predictive control via canonical piecewise affine approximations.
