It is possible to prestabilise the predictions used within Predictive Functional Control in order to increase the likelihood of a stabilising control design. However, the minimal order approach to prestabilisation is not always a good basis for control design. This weakness is investigated and some non-minimal forms of prestabilisation are developed which are a much better basis for control.
