This paper traces the evolution of the central concept of controllability of state space systems
introduced by Kalman to its behavioural generalisation byWillems, and beyond to distributed …

Kalman's fundamental notion of a controllable state space system, first described in Moscow
in 1960, has been generalised to higher order systems by JC Willems, and further to …

Kalman's controllability is extended to nonlinear dynamics via elementary differential field
techniques. This generalization, which was first suggested by J.-F. Pommaret, is related to …

Over the past three decades RE Kalman has been one of the most influential personalities in
system and control theory. His ideas have been instrumental in a variety of areas. This is a …

These lecture notes are devoted to a detailed examination of the fundamental system-
theoretic concepts of Controllability, Observability, Reachability and Determinability, and of …

In recent decades modern control theory of linear dynamical systems has been the subject
of considerable interest of many research scientists. It has been motivated, on the one hand …

The main objective of this article is to review the major progress that has been made on
controllability of dynamical systems over the past number of years. Controllability is one of …

Dynamical systems can be described in two different ways. The first is the external,
input/output or black-box description and the second is the internal or state-space …

The subject is considered in n general set-theoretic formalism. A time system is hero a set of
ordered pairs of functions on a common time domain; extensions to more general forms are …
