We define controllability for hybrid systems as the existence of correct control-laws that transfer the hybrid plant between pre-defined subsets of the hybrid state-space. A methodology for analyzing controllability and synthesizing control-laws for a class of hybrid systems, applicable expecially in batch control, is proposed. We use a framework consisting of a hybrid plant and a hybrid contro...

Controllability of complex networks has attracted much attention, and understanding the robustness of network controllability against potential attacks and failures is of practical significance. In this paper, we systematically investigate the attack vulnerability of network controllability for the canonical model networks as well as the real-world networks subject to attacks on nodes and edges...

This Supplementary Information is organized as follows. In Sec. II, we clarify the fundamental differences between our work and previous research on network controllability. In Sec. III, we give a short introduction to the structural control theory, which can be simply applied to directed networks. The reasons why we focus on linear dynamics are given in Sec. III A. Some simple examples in Sec....

Small time local controllability is a central property for obtaining optimality conditions, for stabilizing control systems, for studying the regularity of time minimal problems for control systems (in general, it is well known that the minimal time function is only lower semicontinuous, see for example, Cardaliaguet, Quincampoix and Saint Pierre, 1997), etc. There are many possible approaches ...

This paper addresses questions regarding controllability for ‘generic parameter’ dynamical systems, i.e. the question whether a dynamical system is ‘structurally controllable’. Unlike conventional methods that deal with structural controllability, our approach uses an undirected graph: the behavioral approach to modelling dynamical systems allows this. Given a system of linear, constant coeffic...

Results concerning the controllability of control affine systems are reviewed. The discussion starts with accessibility results connected with Lie algebraic ideas, and winds its way to some recent local controllability results.

In this paper the approximate controllability of nonlinear evolution delay integrodifferential systems with preassigned responses is studied. These controllability results are for nonlinear systems that are not associated with linear systems and no compactness assumption is imposed.

The controllability problem for a class of impulsive fractional-order semilinear control system with nonlocal initial condition has been considered. Sufficient condition for the controllability is established by means of solution operator and application of Banach contraction theorem.

This paper examines the controllability of dynamic oligopoly models. Both discrete and continuous time scales are considered, and sufficient and necessary conditions are derived for the complete controllability of the outputs of the fims. Copyright © 2005 IFAC
