Abstract:

An abstract operator approach is introduced, permitting a unified study of discrete-and continuous-time linear systems. As an application, an algorithm is given for deciding if a linear system can be built from any fixed linear component. Finally, a criterion is given for reachability of the abstract systems introduced, giving thus a unified proof of known reachability results for discrete-time, continuous-time, and delay-differential systems.
