On the semi-global stabilizability of the Korteweg-de Vries Equation via model predictive control

Stabilization of the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation on a bounded interval by model predictive control (MPC) is investigated. This MPC strategy does not need any terminal cost or terminal constraint to guarantee the stability. The semi-global stabilizability is the key condition. Based on this condition, the suboptimality and exponential stability of the model predictive control are investigated. Finally, numerical experiment is presented which validates the theoretical results.ERC advanced Grant 668998 (OCLOC)(VLID)278331
