Abstract

In this paper, we investigate morphisms of tautological control systems. Given a tautological control system H\mathfrak{H} on the manifold N and a mapping Φ:MN\Phi: M \to N, we study existence of tautological control system G\mathfrak{G} on the manifold MM such that there exists a trajectory-preserving morphism (\Phi, \Phi^ #) from G\mathfrak{G} to H\mathfrak{H}. Sufficient conditions are given such that reachability of H\mathfrak{H} implies the reachability of G\mathfrak{G}. Correspondence between the notion of lifting ordinary control systems and morphisms of tautological control systems are examined. We give an application of the above results to the class of second-order type control systems, where the special structure of second-order type leads to additional results.
