Near-optimal performance of stochastic economic MPC

This paper presents first results for near optimality in expectation of the closed-loop solutions for stochastic economic MPC. The approach relies on a recently developed turnpike property for stochastic optimal control problems at an optimal stationary process, combined with techniques for analyzing time-varying economic MPC schemes. We obtain near optimality in finite time as well as overtaking and average near optimality on infinite time horizons.
