Polynomial methods to construct inputs for uniformly ensemble reachable linear systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with linear parameter-dependent systems and considers the notion uniform ensemble reachability. The focus of this work is on constructive methods to compute suitable parameter-independent open-loop inputs for such systems. In contrast to necessary and sufficient conditions for ensemble reachability, computational methods have to distinguish between continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Based on recently derived sufficient conditions and techniques from complex approximation we present two algorithms for discrete-time single-input linear systems. Moreover, we illustrate that one method can also be applied to certain continuous-time single-input systems.
