In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the latent variable model predictive control (LV-MPC) algorithm, originally proposed by Flores-Cerrillo and MacGregor, is presented. The properties of the algorithm in terms of stability, robustness, and control performance are analyzed. An off-line design me...
