    Abstract

    The receding-horizon (RH) methodology is extended to the design of a robust controller of $H_\infty$ type for nonlinear systems. Using the nonlinear analogue of the fake $H_\infty$H algebraic Riccati equation, we derive an inverse optimality result for the RH schemes for which increasing the horizon causes a decrease of the optimal cost function. This inverse optimality result shows that the input-output map of the closed-loop system obtained with the RH control law has a bounded $L_2$-gain. Robustness properties of the nonlinear $H_\infty$ control law in face of dynamic input uncertainty are considered.
