Abstract

Lie algebraic methods generalize matrix methods and algebraic rank conditions to smooth nonlinear systems. They capture the essence of noncommuting flows and give rise to noncommutative analogues of Taylor expansions. Lie algebraic rank conditions determine controllability, observability, and optimality. Lie algebraic methods are also employed for state-space realization, control design, and path planning.
