Abstract

In this paper we estimate the minimal controllability time for a class of non-linear control systems with a bounded convex state constraint. An explicit expression is given for the controllability time if the image of the control matrix is of co-dimension one. A lower bound for the controllability time is given in the general case. The technique is based on finding a lower dimension system with the similar controllability properties as the original system. The controls corresponding to the minimal time, or time close to the minimal one, are discussed and computed analytically. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a few examples.
