Structural controllability and matrix nets

Abstract

We establish structural controllability results for matrix pairs [A, B] where the Pi free scalar parameters. The result characterize structural controllability in several ways, via tests involving the checking of the rank or the evaluation of the determinent, of various constant matrices former from Ole Ai, J!. A number of the results used as inter mediate results tests for a full rank property of matrix nets, i.e. Tests that, check if 1H=M.; YiMi, .M, prescribed, Pi variable, has full rank for almost all Ii.
