Lyapunov-based Model Predictive Control of Nonlinear Systems Subject to Data Losses

In this work, we focus on control of nonlinear systems subject to data losses. In order to regulate the state of the system towards an equilibrium point while minimizing a given performance index, we propose a Lyapunov-based model predictive controller which is designed taking data losses explicitly into account, both in the optimization problem formulation and in the controller implementation.
