This paper addresses synthesizing receding-horizon controllers for nonlinear, control-affine dynamical systems under multiple incompatible hard and soft constraints. Handling incompatibility of constraints has mostly been addressed in literature by relaxing the soft constraints via slack variables. However, this may lead to trajectories that are far from the optimal solution and may compromise satisfaction of the hard constraints over time. In that regard, permanently dropping incompatible soft constraints may be beneficial for the satisfaction over time of the hard constraints (under the assumption that hard constraints are compatible with each other at initial time). To this end, motivated by approximate methods on the maximal feasible subset (maxFS) selection problem, we propose heuristics that depend on the Lagrange multipliers of the constraints. The main observation for using heuristics based on the Lagrange multipliers instead of slack variables (which is the standard approach in the related literature of finding maxFS) is that when the optimization is feasible, the Lagrange multiplier of a given constraint is non-zero, in contrast to the slack variable which is zero. This observation is particularly useful in the case of a dynamical nonlinear system where its control input is computed recursively as the optimization of a cost functional subject to the system dynamics and constraints, in the sense that the Lagrange multipliers of the constraints over a prediction horizon can indicate the constraints to be dropped so that the resulting constraints are compatible. The method is evaluated empirically in a case study with a robot navigating under multiple time and state constraints, and compared to a greedy method based on the Lagrange multiplier.
