Abstract

We study conditions for stability and near optimal behavior of the closed loop generated by Model Predictive Control for tracking Gaussian probability density functions associated with linear stochastic processes. To this end, we analyze whether the corresponding optimal control problems are strictly dissipative, as this is the key property required to infer such statements when tracking so-called unreachable setpoints. For verifying strict dissipativity, the choice of the so-called storage function is crucial. We focus on linear ones due to their close connection to the Lagrange function. The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process serves as a prototype for our analysis, in which we show the limits of linear storage functions and present nonlinear alternatives, providing structural insight into dissipativity in case of bilinear system dynamics.
