Abstract
Interest in bilinear systems theory and applications has grown in the recent years. The basic motivation of this growth is twofold: on the one hand, the feasibility to be a satisfactory model for large classes of systems (physical, biological, socio-economical, etc.); on the other hand the relative ease with which their theory can be set-up. The first characteristic is substantially related to the presence of a multiplicative control action (on the state motion) besides the additive one, which is the only one present in a linear system. The second characteristic lies in the fact that, for any fixed input, the equations are linear in the state.
