Abstract

En 中文
The article introduces and solves a structural controllability problem for continuum ensembles of linear time-invariant systems. All the individual linear systems of an ensemble are sparse, governed by the same sparsity pattern. Controllability of an ensemble system is, by convention, the capability of using a common control input to simultaneously steer every individual systems in it. A sparsity pattern is structurally controllable if it admits a controllable linear ensemble system. A main contribution of the article is to provide a graphical condition that is necessary and sufficient for a sparsity pattern to be structurally controllable. Like other structural problems, the property of being structural controllable is monotone. We provide a complete characterization of minimal sparsity patterns as well.
