Generic uniform observability analysis for bilinear systems. (English) Zbl 1153.93330

Summary: We study the property of generic uniform observability for structured bilinear systems. More precisely, to check whether or not a structured bilinear system is generically uniformly observable, we provide a group of necessary conditions and a second group of sufficient ones. These conditions are expressed in quite simple graphic-terms. On one hand, all the given conditions are easy to check because they deal with finding paths in a digraph. On the other hand, the proposed method is based on a graph-theoretic approach and assumes only a knowledge of the system’s structure. This makes the suggested approach particularly well suited to study large scale systems or systems with unknown parameters, as may be the case during a conception stage.
