Unconstrained receding horizon control with no terminal cost

In this paper, we discuss a stabilizing receding horizon scheme for unconstrained nonlinear systems. Using Dini's theorem on the uniform convergence of functions, we show that there always exist a finite horizon length for which the corresponding receding horizon scheme is stabilizing without using terminal costs and/or constraints.
