A Contractive Sliding- mode MPC Algorithm for Nonlinear Discrete- time Systems
This paper investigates a sliding-mode model predictive control (MPC) algorithm with auxiliary contractive sliding vector constraint for constrained nonlinear discrete-time systems. By adding contractive constraint into the optimization problem in regular sliding-mode MPC algorithm, the value of the sliding vector is decreased to zero asymptotically, which means that the system state is driven into a vicinity of sliding surface with a certain width. Then, the system state moves along the sliding surface to the equilibrium point within the vicinity. By applying the proposed algorithm, the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. A numerical example of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system is given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
