Abstract

This paper deals with the design of Excitation and Measurement Patterns (EMP) for the identification of a class of dynamical networks whose topology has the structure of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). In addition to the by now well known condition that the identifiabiltiy of any dynamical network requires that the sources be excited, the sinks be measured, and all other nodes be either excited or measured, we show that for DAGs two other types of nodes have special excitation and measurement requirements. Armed with this result, we propose a systematic procedure for the design of EMPs that guarantee identifiability of a network with DAG topology.
