Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Controlled Distinguishability of Continuous-Time Bilinear Systems
Controlled distinguishability of two dynamical systems is the property of the systems that guarantees the existence of a control input generating different outputs of the systems regardless of their initial state vectors. These inputs are referred in the literature as discerning control inputs. In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for controlled distinguishability of continuous-time bilinear systems is established. It generalizes the classic one provided in the literature for the class of linear systems and a method for designing discerning inputs of bilinear systems that stabilize the systems is also proposed.
