Iterative State- and Control-Dependent Model Predictive Control: A Jacobian-Free Formulation for Constrained Nonlinear Systems
This paper presents an iterative model predictive control algorithm that stabilizes constrained nonlinear systems without evaluating a single plant derivative. By factoring the exact nonlinear dynamics into a pseudo-linear form using state- and control-dependent coefficients (SCDCs), we replace the standard nonconvex o...
