Economic Machine-Learning-Based Predictive Control of Nonlinear Systems

In this work, a Lyapunov-based economic model predictive control (LEMPC) method is developed to address economic optimality and closed-loop stability of nonlinear systems using machine learning-based models to make predictions. Specifically, an ensemble of recurrent neural network (RNN) models via a...
