This paper proposes a gap-metric-based multiple model predictive control (MMPC) method for nonlinear systems with a wide operating range. The gap metric theory, integrated into a neighborhood estimation algorithm, is utilized to partition the whole operating range into subregions corresponding to operating points. A local controller is then designed in each subregion and is composed of a constant feedback control and a receding infinite-horizon control with an estimated polyhedral stable region. To guarantee the global stability of the whole system, we design a novel switching rule activating between local controllers. The simulation study on a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) is presented to validate the proposed methods.
