On the null-controllability of linear discrete-time systems with restrained controls (Q1066086)

This paper is devoted to the null-controllability problem for linear, autonomous, discrete-time systems with restrained controls, i.e. systems described by the equation \(x_{k+1}=Ax_ k+u_ k\), \(u_ k\in \Gamma\), where \(0\in \Gamma\), but is not necessarily an interior point of \(\Gamma\). Some criteria for local and global null-controllability are given with proofs. These results can be considered as extensions to discrete-time systems of the known corresponding criteria for linear, continuous-time systems.
