“…Thus, these results can be the basis for algorithms for determining observability of nonlinear DAEs. These new results also draw a nice connection between the results of [5] and [13]. Specifically, we consider the following question: If the observability Jacobian of the linearization along a trajectory satisfies the observability condition of [5], is the nonlinear system locally observable in a neighborhood of the trajectory; in particular, does the Jacobian of the nonlinear system satisfy the generalized observability condition of [13]?…”

“…The analytical theory for differential-algebraic equations has been developed quite far in the last two decades, and also a wide variety of numerical methods are available, see [8, 12, 13, 21, 29-31, 33, 36, 38, 45, 49, 50]. Furthermore, the theory and also numerical techniques have been extended to control problems [10,15,16,26,27,34,36,37,51].…”

Abstract. We present a mathematical framework for general over-and underdetermined hybrid (switched) systems of differential-algebraic equations (HDAEs). We give a systematic formulation of HDAEs and discuss existence and uniqueness of solutions, the treatment of the switch points and how to perform consistent initialization at switch points.We show how numerical solution methods for DAEs can be adapted for HDAEs and present a numerical results for these methods for the real world example of simulating an automatic gearbox.

“…For studying reducibility questions, the so-called "split form" was introduced in the monograph [5] which is defined for the systems with smooth coefficients. To examine observability questions for DAE of the form (1), some analogs of a split form were used in [6]. For existence of the above forms, it is not required that the rank of the matrix coefficient of the derivative of the sought vector function is a constant.…”

We examine a control linear system of ordinary differential equations with an identically degenerate matrix coefficient of the derivative of the unknown vector function. We study the question of the minimal dimension of the control vector when the system could be fully controllable on any segment in the domain of definition. The problem is investigated in the cases of stationary systems and the systems with real analytic and smooth coefficients for which some structural forms can be defined.Keywords: differential algebraic equations, differential algebraic system, controllability, minimal number of inputs, structural form § 1. IntroductionWe study the control linear system of ordinary differential equationswhere A(t) and B(t) are known (n × n)-matrices; x(t) is an n-dimensional vector function to be sought;These systems are called differential algebraic equations (DAE). The unsolvability measure with respect to the derivative for some DAE is some integer r, 0 ≤ r ≤ n, that is called the index of the system. In the article we analyze the following question of great importance for the synthesis of control systems: What is the minimal number of inputs l (1 ≤ l ≤ n) when (1) is fully controllable on any segment of I. As is known, for the systems that are solved with respect to the derivative, i.e. of the form x (t) + B(t)x(t) + U (t)u(t) = 0, the minimal number of inputs ensuring controllability in some sense is equal to 1. In the stationary case the minimal number of inputs is equal to the number of nontrivial invariant polynomials of B (for instance, see [1,2]).One of the approaches to studying the solvability and the qualitative properties of solutions to DAE is based on a preliminary transformation of the system under study to the form allowing us to evaluate the structure of a general solution.The notion of a "strong standard canonical form" was introduced for the first time in [3] for studying linear DAE and its existence was proven for the systems with real analytic coefficients. This form in [4] is called the central canonical form (CCF). For studying reducibility questions, the so-called "split form" was introduced in the monograph [5] which is defined for the systems with smooth coefficients. To examine observability questions for DAE of the form (1), some analogs of a split form were used in [6]. For existence of the above forms, it is not required that the rank of the matrix coefficient of the derivative of the sought vector function is a constant. A common disadvantage is the absence of constructive algorithms for constructing these forms under sufficiently general conditions. In particular, the methods for transforming DAE in CCF are developed only for the systems whose coefficients are constants or polynomials [7].
