Input-Output Stability of Barrier-Based Model Predictive Control

Conditions for input-output stability of barrier-based model predictive control of linear systems with linear and convex nonlinear (hard or soft) constraints are established through the construction of integral quadratic constraints (IQCs). The IQCs can be used to establish sufficient conditions for global closed-loop stability. In particular conditions for robust stability can be obtained in the presence of unstructured model uncertainty. IQCs with both static and dynamic multipliers are developed and appropriate convex searches for the multipliers are presented. The effectiveness of the robust stability analysis is demonstrated with an illustrative numerical example.
