The Closed Orbit Controllability Criterium

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that every closed "general" trajectory of the control system SigmaM has an open neighborhood on which SigmaM is controllable if 1) this orbit contains some point where the Lie algebra rank condition (LARC) is satisfied, and 2) the set of control vectors is "involved" at q. In particular, for the control systems SigmaM on the compact connected manifold Mn with an open control set this gives the following "Closed Orbit Controllability Criterium": The dynamical system SigmaM of the considered type is controllable on Mn if and only if for an arbitrary point q of Mn there exists a closed trajectory of the control system going through this point. We also present examples which show that our conditions are necessary.
