Willems' fundamental lemma asserts that all trajectories of a linear time-invariant system can be obtained from a finite number of measured ones, assuming that controllability and a persistency of excitation condition hold. We show that…

Data-driven control uses a past signal trajectory to characterise the input-output behaviour of a system. Willems' lemma provides a data-based prediction model allowing a control designer to bypass the step of identifying a state-space or…

We illustrate a novel version of Willems' lemma for data-based representation of continuous-time systems. The main novelties compared to previous works are two. First, the proposed framework relies only on measured input-output trajectories…

Based on the Fundamental Lemma by Willems et al., the entire behaviour of a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system can be characterised by a single data sequence of the system as long the input is persistently exciting. This is an essential…

In Willems' behavioral systems theory, a dynamical system is identified with the set of all trajectories compatible with its laws of motion. In the linear time-invariant setting this trajectory set is a linear subspace, and its algebraic…

In this letter, we provide new insight into Willems et al.'s fundamental lemma by studying the concept of universal inputs. An input is called universal if, when applied to any controllable system, it leads to input-output data that…

Willems' Fundamental Lemma enables parameterizing all trajectories generated by a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system directly from data. However, this lemma relies on the assumption of noiseless measurements. In this paper, we provide an…
