In this paper, a method to represent every input-output trajectory of a continuous-time linear system in terms of previously collected data is presented. This corresponds to a continuous-time version of the well-known Willems' lemma. The…

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…
