Nonlinear Systems
Nonlinear systems in the control-affine form
is locally accessible about if the accessibility distribution spans space, when equals the rank of and R is given by:
Here, is the repeated Lie bracket operation defined by
The controllability matrix for linear systems in the previous section can in fact be derived from this equation.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
