Abstract :
Presents sufficient conditions which guarantee that a class of third order nonlinear control systems with a time-dependent drift is controllable in a slab. Assuming that the controllability conditions are satisfied the authors construct a control function which steers the system from an arbitrary initial state in the slab to an arbitrary final state in the slab over a given period of time
