Abstract How to efficiently use limited system resources in distributed receding horizon control (DRHC) is an important issue. This paper studies the DRHC problem for a class of dynamically decoupled nonlinear systems under the framework of event-triggering, to efficiently make use of the computation and communication resources. To that end, a distributed periodic event-triggered strategy is designed and a detailed DRHC algorithm is presented. The conditions for ensuring feasibility of the designed algorithm and stability of the closed-loop system are developed, respectively. We show that the closed-loop system is input-to-state stable if the energy bound of the disturbances, the triggering condition and the cooperation matrices fulfill the proposed conditions.
