Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically ensuring the stability and controllability of a nonlinear control system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system receives, at a nonlinear model predictive controller, optimal control problem code representing an optimal control problem that includes a continuous time model representing a nonlinear dynamical system. The system discretizes automatically the continuous time model to produce a discrete time model that includes one or more parameters. The system also checks automatically the one or more parameters to identify one or more regions in a parameter space in which the discrete time model is both stable and controllable when used by the nonlinear model predictive controller. The system also controls, at least in part, operation of the nonlinear dynamical system using the nonlinear model predictive controller configured with values of the one or more parameters that lie within the one or more stable and controllable regions.
