supply chain network   receding horizon control demand move suppression term   Supply chain networks are interconnection and dynamics of a demand network. Example subsystems, referred to as stages, include raw materials, distributors of the raw materials, manufacturers, distributors of the manufactured products, retailers, and customers. The main objectives of the control strategy for the s...

In this paper, the application of receding horizon control to a two-link direct drive robot arm is demonstrated. Instead of the terminal constraints, a terminal cost on receding horizon control is used to guarantee the stability, because of the computational demand. The key idea of this paper is to apply the receding horizon control with the terminal cost which is derived from the energy functi...

We consider a receding horizon approach as an approximate solution to two-person zero-sum Markov games with infinite horizon discounted cost and average cost criteria. We first present error bounds from the optimal equilibrium value of the game when both players take correlated equilibrium receding horizon policies that are based on exact or approximate solutions of receding finite horizon subg...

We study the stability of receding horizon control for continuous-time non-linear stochastic differential equations. We illustrate the results with a simulation example in which we employ receding horizon control to design an investment strategy to repay a debt.

We analyze the structure of the Euler-Lagrange conditions of a lifted long-horizon optimal control problem. The analysis reveals that the conditions can be solved by using block Gauss-Seidel schemes and we prove that such schemes can be implemented by solving sequences of short-horizon problems. The analysis also reveals that a receding-horizon control scheme is equivalent to performing a singl...

This paper addresses the design of a dynamic state feedback receding horizon controller, which guarantees robust constraint satisfaction, robust stability and offset-free control of constrained linear systems in the presence of time-varying setpoints and unmeasured disturbances. This objective is obtained by first designing a dynamic linear offset-free controller and computing an appropriate do...

This paper investigates vision based robot control based on a receding horizon control strategy. The stability of the receding horizon control scheme is guaranteed by using the terminal cost derived from an energy function of the visual feedback system. By applying the proposed control scheme to a two-link direct drive manipulator with a CCD camera, it is shown that the stabilizing receding hor...

This paper investigates vision based robot control via a receding horizon control strategy for an eye-in/to-hand system, as a predictive visual feedback control. Firstly, the dynamic visual feedback system with the eye-in/to-hand configuration is reconstructed in order to improve the performance of the estimation. Next, a stabilizing receding horizon control for the 3D dynamic visual feedback s...

This paper describes a model of the immunologic response of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in individuals. It then illustrates how a Receding Horizon Control (RHC) methodology can be used to drive the system to a stable equilibrium in which a strong immune response controls the viral load in the absence of drug treatment. We also illustrate how this feedback methodology can overcome unp...
