Abstract

In this paper, we present a new result on algebraic characterization of observability of a class of control systems, called the Bilinear Control systems on Lie Groups, introduced in the paper; and then extend this result to the direct product of two members in this class. The latter generalizes a recent result on the observability of the direct product of two members of a bilinear control system defined on R-n. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
