Our approach deviates from standard MPC formulations by integrating multi-step predictors, which provide reduced error bounds. These bounds, derived from multi-step predictors, are utilized in a homothetic tube formulation to mitigate conservatism. Lastly, a multi-rate formulation is adopted to handle the incompatibilities of multi-step predictors. We provide a theoretical analysis, guaranteeing robust recursive feasibility, constraint satisfaction, and (practical) stability of the desired setpoint. We use a simulation example to compare it to existing literature and demonstrate advantages in terms of conservatism and computational complexity.TechnologyPredictive Control For Linear SystemsIdentification For ControlConstrained ControlHomothetic Tube Model Predictive Control With Multi-Step Predictorstext::journal::journal article::research article
