In these schemes, terminal sets are usually computed offline and used in the MPC online phase to guarantee recursive feasibility and asymptotic stability. Maximal invariant terminal sets do not necessarily respect the distributed structure of the network, hindering the distributed implementation of the controller. On the other hand, ellipsoidal terminal sets respect the distributed structure, but may lead to conservative schemes. In this paper, a novel distributed MPC scheme is proposed for reference tracking of networked dynamical systems where the terminal ingredients are reconfigured online depending on the closed-loop states to alleviate the aforementioned issues. The resulting non-convex infinite-dimensional problem is approximated using a quadratic program. The proposed scheme is tested in simulation where the proposed MPC problem is solved using distributed optimization.en0018-928620221162636270Asymptotic stabilityDistributed controlDynamical systems2-s2.0-85121362921Linear matrix inequalitiesNetworked dynamical systemsPredictive controlPredictive controlRegulationStandardsTarget trackingJournal Article10.1109/TAC.2021.31334942007.00427Journal Article
