Optimisation control via the distributed model predictive method for nonlinear time-delay systems

摘要

This paper is focused on the optimisation control design for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. A distributed model predictive control scheme is proposed for the first time to apply the constraint control input in manipulating the presence of time-delay. The continuous controller is divided into two parts in terms of the stabilisation and the optimisation, which guarantees the stability of the closed-loop systems based on the appropriate assumptions. The novelty of this paper is a reasonable separation of the actual control to deal with the function with time-delay. Finally, a simulation is given to verify the correctness of the theoretical results.
