Abstract

Let Sl(n,H)\mathrm{Sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right) be the Lie group of n×nn\times n quaternionic matrices gg with detg=1\left\vert \det g\right\vert =1. We prove that a subsemigroup SSl(n,H)S \subset \mathrm{Sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right) with nonempty interior is equal to Sl(n,H)\mathrm{Sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right) if SS contains a subgroup isomorphic to Sl(2,H)\mathrm{Sl}\left( 2,\mathbb{H}\right). As application we give sufficient conditions on A,Bsl(n,H)A,B\in \mathfrak{sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right) to ensuring that the invariant control system g˙=Ag+uBg\dot{g}=Ag+uBg is controllable on Sl(n,H)\mathrm{Sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right). We prove also that these conditions are generic in the sense that we obtain an open and dense set of controllable pairs (A,B)sl(n,H)2\left( A,B\right)\in\mathfrak{sl}\left( n,\mathbb{H}\right)^{2}.
