Nonlinear Case
Given the system, . Where the state vector, the input vector and the output vector. are to be smooth vectorfields.
Now define the observation space to be the space containing all repeated Lie derivatives. Now the system is observable in if and only if .
Note:
Early criteria for observability in nonlinear dynamic systems were discovered by Griffith and Kumar, Kou, Elliot and Tarn, and Singh.

Famous quotes containing the word case:
“The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
