  • Abstract
    Let M be a connected real-analytic n -dimensional manifold, f, g_{1}, ... ,g_{n-1} be complete real-analytic vector fields on M which are linearly independent at some point of M , and u_{1}, ... , u_{n-1} be real-valued controls. Consider the controllability of the system \\dot{x}(t)=f(x(t)) + \\sum \\min{i=1}\\max {n-1} u_{i}(t)g_{i}(x(t)), x(0)=x_{0} in M . Necessary and sufficient conditions are given so that this system is controllable on any simply connected domain D contained in M on which g_{1},... ,g_{n-1} are linearly independent. These conditions depend on the computation of Lie brackets at those points where f, g_{1}, ... ,g_{n-1} are linearly dependent.
