The paper deals with linear, completely integrable Pfaffian control systems of the form \[ dx=(A_ 1x+b_ 1u)dt_ 1+(A_ 2x+b_ 2u)dt_ 2, \] where \(x\in R^ n\) and \(u\in R\). Necessary and sufficient conditions for linear feedback stabilization \(u=px\) are derived, depending on a particular form of the integrability requirements imposed on the system, i.e. for the following cases: \(\hbox{rank}[b_ 1,b_ 2]=\hbox{rank}[b_ 1,_ 2,A_ 1b_ 2-A_ 2b_ 1]=1\), \(\hbox{rank}[b_ 1,b_ 2]=\hbox{rank}[b_ 1,b_ 2,A_ 1b_ 2-A_ 2b_ 1]=2\) and \(A_ 1b_ 2-A_ 2b_ 1\) independent of \(b_ 1,b_ 2\). It would be interesting to know whether results of this paper have any significance for \(2D\) systems.
