We describe a new approach of the generalized Bezout identity for linear time-varying ordinary differential control systems. We also explain when and how it can be extended to linear partial differential control systems. We show that it only depends on the algebraic nature of the differential module determined by the equations of the system. This formulation shows that the generalized Bezout identity is equivalent to the splitting of an exact differential sequence formed by the control system and its parametrization. This point of view gives a new algebraic and geometric interpretation of the entries of the generalized Bezout identity.
