An algebraic condition for controllability at infinity (Q1066846)

The author considers generalized state-space systems of the form E \(\dot x(\)t)\(=A x(t)+B u(t)\), \(y(t)=C x(t)+D u(t)\) where E is a (possibly singular) square matrix. Controllability at infinity is defined in terms of module homomorphisms, involving normalized polynomial realizations. An algebraic necessary and sufficient condition for controllability at infinity is given.
