In this paper, we establish the controllability conditions for a finite-dimensional dynamical control system modelled by a linear impulsive matrix Lyapunov ordinary differential equations having multiple constant time-delays in control for certain classes of admissible control functions. We characterize the controllability property of the system in terms of matrix rank conditions and are easy to verify. The obtained results are applicable for both autonomous (time-invariant) and non-autonomous (time-variant) systems. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results obtained in this paper.
This article considers a class of finite-dimensional linear impulsive time-varying systems for which various sufficient and necessary algebraic criteria for complete controllability, including matrix rank conditions are established. The obtained controllability results are further synthesised for the time-invariant case, and under some special conditions on the system parameters, we obtain a Popov-Belevitch-Hautus (PBH)-type rank condition which employs eigenvalues of the system matrix for the investigation of their controllability. Numerical examples are provided that demonstrate--for the linear impulsive systems, null controllability need not imply their complete controllability, unlike for the non-impulsive linear systems.
