Abstract

We propose a novel way for sampled-data implementation (with the zero order hold assumption) of continuous-time controllers for general nonlinear systems. We assume that a continuous-time controller has been designed so that the continuous-time closed-loop satisfies all performance requirements. Then, we use this control law indirectly to compute numerically a sampled-data controller. Our approach exploits a model predictive control (MPC) strategy that minimizes the mismatch between the solutions of the sampled-data model and the continuous-time closed-loop model. We propose a control law and present conditions under which stability and sub-optimality of the closed loop can be proved. We only consider the case of unconstrained MPC. We show that the recent results in [G.Grimm, M.J.Messina, A.R.Teel and S. Tuna, "Model predictive control: for want of a local control Lyapunov function, all is not lost", IEEE Trans. Automat. Contr. 50(2005), 546-558] can be directly used for analysis of stability of our closed-loop system.
