Abstract: We propose computational techniques for model predictive control of large‐scale systems with both continuous‐valued control inputs and discrete‐valued control inputs, which are a class of hybrid systems. In the proposed method, we introduce the notion of virtual control inputs, which are obtained by relaxing discrete‐valued control inputs to continuous variables. In online computation, first, we find continuous‐valued control inputs and virtual control inputs minimizing a cost function. Next, using the obtained virtual control inputs, only discrete‐valued control inputs at the current time are computed in each subsystem. In addition, we also discuss the effect of quantization errors. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by a numerical example. The proposed method enables us to reduce and decentralize the computation load.
