Abstract
This note uses a polynomial approach to present a necessary and sufficient condition for local controllability of single-input-single-output (SISO) nonlinear systems. The condition is presented in terms of common factors of a noncommutative polynomial expression. This result exposes controllability properties of a nonlinear system in the input-output framework, and gives a computable procedure for examining nonlinear system controllability using computer algebra.
