Abstract

differential equation characterizing the functionsalpha_{i}(t), which arise when eAtis expressed asalpha_{0}(t)I + ... + alpha_{n-1}(t) A^{n-1}, is derived. It is shown that the set of functions{alpha_{i}(t)}is linearly independent over any nonzero interval. Using this fact, a constructive proof is given for the well-known criterion for a linear time-invariant system to be controllable, namely, rank[B|AB| ... |A^{n-1}B] = n.
