On the equivalence of direct and indirect data-driven predictive control approaches (2403.05860v2)
Abstract: Recently, several direct Data-Driven Predictive Control (DDPC) methods have been proposed, advocating the possibility of designing predictive controllers from historical input-output trajectories without the need to identify a model. In this work, we show that these approaches are equivalent to an indirect approach. Reformulating the direct methods in terms of estimated parameters and covariance matrices allows us to give new insights into how they work in comparison with, for example, Subspace Predictive Control (SPC). In particular, we show that for unconstrained problems the direct methods are equivalent to SPC with a reduced weight on the tracking cost. Via a numerical experiment, motivated by the reformulation, we also illustrate why the performance of direct DDPC methods with fixed regularization tends to degrade as the number of training samples increases.
