Does nonlinear dynamic matrix control provide integral control?
Nonlinear dynamic matrix control guarantees integral control if the output horizon is infinite, and may fail to provide integral control if the output horizon is finite, the input weight is nonzero, and dh(u)/du = 0 for some u = (u) over bar, where y = h(u) describes the steady-state input-output behavior. Possible modifications to the algorithm to guarantee integral control are discussed.
