Special Methods Controllability and Observability in Optimal Control Systems

Abstract

This article explores a specific case study that examines controllability and observability in general and in specific so that it is easy for the reader to understand these two concepts, which are fundamental in optimal control theory. Algorithms have been written to determine the controllability and observability of optimal control systems using the MATLAB programming language, and new techniques have been developed to deal with them. In addition, a critical test was created in which the state variables of the system or, more precisely, their corresponding states were split together, illustrating this with more than one example. Divided into four groups in a linear manner, as the article explains. To understand the controllability and observability of some more complex systems, this article is a starting point for the future expansion of these two concepts through the development of new algorithms or other applied solution methods or the creation of new algorithms.
