This paper describes an approach based on Receding Horizon control for the solution of the state-feedback H control problem for discrete-time nonlinear systems. The control law is obtained through the solution of a finite-horizon dynamic game and guarantees robust stability in the face of a class of bounded disturbances and/or parameter uncertainties.
