The authors consider what they call the small time local transitivity property (SLTP) for nonlinear control systems on compact manifolds. A point \(x\) is said to have the SLTP if for any neighborhood \(V\) of \(x\) and any time \(T>0\) there exists a neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\) such that any point \(y_1\in U\) can be controlled to any point \(y_2\in U\) in a time less or equal than \(T\) and such that the trajectory does not leave \(V\). The authors consider a point \(x\) in the boundary of the region where the SLTP holds and investigate whether this point itself has the SLTP. They state generic results (with respect to the family of control systems under consideration) relating the SLTP of \(x\) to the number or linearly independent velocities of the vector fields at \(x\) and give the outlines of the proofs.
