Abstract

In this paper parameter space is introduced to analyze the structural controllability of nonlinear systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions of structural controllability for nonlinear systems are obtained by using transfer function conception. The nonlinear structural controllability condition is extended to nonlinear tandem composite system and the new criterion is derived. Since the non-commutative character of these conditions it is different from that for linear systems in frequency domain. Examples are used to show the application for these conditions and the non-commutative character.
