Reachable sets of nonlinear control systems can in general only be approximated numerically, and these approximations are typically very expensive to compute. In this paper, we explore a strategy for choosing the temporal and spatial…
Shaping the reachable set of a dynamical system is a fundamental challenge in control design, with direct implications for both performance and safety. This paper considers the problem of selecting the optimal input matrix for a linear…

We show that a bilinear control system is approximately controllable if and only if it is controllable in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\{0\}$. We approach this problem by looking at the foliation made by the orbits of the system, and by showing…
