We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of single input/multi output linear time-invariant systems with interval plants, and for the observability of multi input/single output linear time-invariant systems with interval plants. In arriving at our results, we determine allowable plant uncertainty bounds for controllability and observability.To demonstrate the applicability of our results, we consider two specific examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
