Abstract: Abstract Moving-horizon control is a type of sampled-data feedback control in which the control over each sampling interval is determined by the solution of an open-loop optimal control problem. We develop a dual-sampling-rate moving-horizon control scheme for a class of linear, continuous-time plants with strict input saturation constraints in the presence of plant uncertainty and input disturbances. Our control scheme has two components: a slow-sampling moving-horizon controller for a nominal plant and a fast-sampling state-feedback controller whose function is to force the actual plant to emulate the nominal plant. The design of the moving-horizon controller takes into account the nonnegligible computation time required to compute the optimal control trajectory. We prove the local stability of the resulting feedback system and illustrate its performance with simulations. In these simulations, our dual-sampling-rate controller exhibits performance that is considerably superior to its single-sampling-rate moving-horizon controller counterpart.
