This paper proposes a multi-rate Model Predictive Control (MPC) for constrained systems where the control effort can be adjusted several times during one sampling interval. Stability criterion for this new proposed algorithm is established. The test of the stability condition, the estimation of stability regions and the choice of the terminal weighting term are discussed.
