  • Abstract
    Topological properties of classes of state-space systems ( A, B, C) \\in R^{n(n+m+p)} are considered, using the natural Euclidean topology. In particular, the connected components of the spaces of controllable, observable, and controllable and observable systems are characterized. Similar results are then easily established for corresponding spaces of rational transfer matrices.
