            Abstract : 
The controllability of piecewise linear descriptor systems is considered in this paper. Necessary and sufficient geometric criteria for C-controllability and R-controllability of such systems are established, respectively. These conditions can be easily transformed into algebraic form. Furthermore, the intrinsic relationship between our results and the existing results are also discussed. Then a novel necessary and sufficient criterion for C-controllability of linear time-invariant descriptor systems is derived as a byproduct.
