Abstract :
This paper deals with the algebraic theory (reachability, observability, and minimal realizations) of signlinear systems. These are time-invariant systems whose dynamics are linear and whose output is the sign of a linear function of the states. The paper discusses differences as well as similarities with the standard case of linear systems.
