  • Abstract
    Strong conditions, involving first-order symmetric products, are given for controllability of affine connection control systems. The conditions generalise, at the first-order level, earlier conditions for affine connection control systems, and involve the use of a vector-valued quadratic form as the essential ingredient in the statement of the results
