Nonlinear Controllability,

Abstract

Necessary and sufficient conditions for complete controllability of a general class of nonlinear control systems of the form dx/dt = f(x) + G(x)u are derived. The derivation of these conditions makes use of properties of certain Pfaffian equations associated with the control system and properties of the Penrose pseudo-inverse of matrices. (Author)
