Abstract
We present a hierarchical MPC approach for large-scale systems based
on dual decomposition. The proposed scheme allows coupling in both
dynamics and constraints between the subsystems and generates a primal
feasible solution within a finite number of iterations, using primal
averaging and a constraint tightening approach. The primal update is
performed in a distributed way and does not require exact solutions,
while the dual problem uses an approximate subgradient method.
Stability of the scheme is established using bounded suboptimality.
