Analizing Exact Controllability of ℓ-Order Linear Systems
Author:
Abstract: In recent years there has been growing interest in the descriptive analysis of ℓ-order time invariant linear dynamical system x^ℓ = Aℓ-1xℓ-? + ... + A0x0 where Ai are square complex matrices and xi denotes the i-th derivative of x. We are interested to mesure the minimum number of controls B that are needed in order to make the system xℓ = Aℓ-1xℓ-1 + ... + A0x0 + Bu controllable.
