Output Feedback Stochastic Model Predictive Control for Linear Systems with Convex Optimization Approach

Abstract

In this paper, a stochastic model predictive controller is designed for discrete time linear time invariant systems, considering additive disturbance and stochastic constraints. As we know, in practical applications, measuring all state information of a system is not generally possible or affordable. So, in this work, an output feedback law is assumed as the control law. By utilizing the Chebyshev inequality and Schur complement, it is tried to convert a stochastic non-convex optimization problem into a deterministic convex optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
