Optimal control problems with a very large time horizon can be tackled with the Receding Horizon Control (RHC) method, which consists in solving a sequence of optimal control problems with small prediction horizon. The main result of this article is the proof of the exponential convergence (with respect to the prediction horizon) of the control generated by the RHC method towards the exact solution of the problem. The result is established for a class of infinite-dimensional linear-quadratic optimal control problems with time-independent dynamics and integral cost. Such problems satisfy the turnpike property: the optimal trajectory remains most of the time very close to the solution to the associated static optimization problem. Specific terminal cost functions, derived from the Lagrange multiplier associated with the static optimization problem, are employed in the implementation of the RHC method.
