Abstract: We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions under which a general nonlinear affine control system with outputs can be written as a gradient control system corresponding to some pseudo-Riemannian metric defined on the state space. The results rely on a suitable notion of compatibility of the system with respect to a given affine connection, and on the output behavior of the prolonged system and the gradient extension. The symmetric product associated with an affine connection plays a key role in the discussion.
