Title :

Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Techniques from the theory of Lie algebras are used to decompose control systems modeled by nonlinear ordinary differential equations with control appearing linearly into systems whose solutions can be written as the composition of flows of more elementary pieces. Methods from algebraic geometry are then applied to obtain information about attainable sets and to give a computable, high order, test for local controllability.
