Abstract

In this paper, we consider a general framework for distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of discrete-time nonlinear systems with decoupled dynamics, but subject to coupled constraints and a common, cooperative task. In contrast to most of the existing DMPC schemes in the literature, we do not necessarily consider the stabilization of an a priori known setpoint, but also other cooperative tasks like consensus and synchronization problems can be handled within the proposed framework. In order to ensure recursive feasibility and convergence to the desired cooperative goal, the systems optimize a local cost function in a sequential order, communicating their planned trajectories only to their neighbors. We exemplarily show how the proposed DMPC algorithm can be used for achieving consensus and synchronization between the systems, and we illustrate the results with a simulation example.
