Definition

An online control strategy that uses a dynamic model to solve a finite‑horizon constrained optimization problem at each sampling instant, producing an optimal control sequence subject to system dynamics and explicit input/state constraints, and applying only the first control action before repeating the optimization at the next step (receding horizon).
