Adaptive Behavioral Predictive Control: State-Free Regulation Without Hankel Weights

Researchers have introduced Adaptive Behavioral Predictive Control (ABPC), a new framework that avoids complex Hankel matrix constructions and iterative optimization for real-time predictive control. Using kernel-recursive least squares and LPV-ARX predictors, it computes control sequences directly from streaming data. The 83-page paper demonstrates effective performance on nonlinear systems like Hammerstein and NARX models, emphasizing computational feasibility and reproducibility through extensive numerical studies with 24 figures and 9 tables.
