A note on the controllability of higher-order linear systems

In this paper, a new condition for the controllability of higher order linear dynamical systems is obtained. The suggested test contains rank conditions of suitably defined matrices and is based on the notion of compound matrices and the Binet-Cauchy formula. Key words: companion matrix, compound matrix, closed loop system, eigenvalue, input vector, matrix polynomial, state AMS subject classifications: 93C05, 93B05, 93B52
