Research paper thumbnail of A remark on conditioned invariance in the behavioral approach

Based on this notion together with the well-known notion of behavioral observer, a definition of conditioned invariance is also presented. The results obtained for the characterization of the defined properties put into evidence some problems that, in our opinion, should deserve attention. This could serve as a starting point for a discussion on the foundations of an analogue of the geometric theory within the behavioral setting.

This definition is later used in the study of stability of linear quaternionic systems within the behavioral setting.

This extends a well known result for 1D structured systems, according to which (A;B) is (generically) reachable if and only if the matrix [A B] is full generically row rank and irreducible.

Research paper thumbnail of Characterizations of global reachability of 2D structured systems

This paper extends well known results for the 1D case, according to which a structured system (A λ , B λ) is (generically) reachable if and only if its graph is spanned by a cactus, or, equivalently, if and only if the pair (A λ , B λ) is full generically row rank and irreducible.

Research paper thumbnail of On the determinant of quaternionic polynomial matrices and its application to system stability

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2007

This notion allows to characterize the stability of linear dynamical systems with quaternionic coefficients, yielding results which generalize the ones obtained for the real and complex cases.
