Abstract:
Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of discrete-event systems
that can be described by models that are "linear" in the max-plus
algebra. MPL systems arise in the context of e.g. manufacturing
systems, telecommunication networks, railway networks, and parallel
computing. We derive a receding horizon control scheme for MPL systems
that guarantees a priori stability (in the sense of boundedness of the
normalized state) of the closed-loop system in the "unconstrained"
case. We also discuss the main properties of the resulting receding
horizon controllers.
