Controllability of Invariant Control Systems At Uniform Time

Víctor Ayala, José Ayala-Hoffmann and Ivan de Azevedo Tribuzy

Abstract:

Let $G$ be a compact and connected semisimple Lie group and $\Sigma $ an invariant control systems on $G$. Our aim in this work is to give a new proof of Theorem 1 proved by Jurdjevic and Sussmann in \cite{ju-su 2}$.$ Precisely, to find a positive time $s_{\Sigma }$ such that the system turns out controllable at uniform time $s_{\Sigma }$. Our proof is different, elementary and the main argument comes directly from the definition of semisimple Lie group. The uniform time is not arbitrary. Finally, if $ A=\bigcap _{ t > 0}A(t,e)$ denotes the reachable set from arbitrary uniform time, we conjecture that it is possible to determine $A$ as the intersection of the isotropy groups of orbits of $G$-representations which contains $\exp (\mathfrak{z})$, where $\mathfrak{z}$ is the Lie algebra determined by the control vectors.
