Abstract :
A method for analyzing controllability of non-linear distributed parameter systems is presented. This analysis is based on the Lie algebra augmented for distributed systems. The augmentation is performed by transformation of the state equations into a finite dimensional state space. The resulting controllability criteria is applied to a nonlinear, distributed electric propulsion system, namely, a magneto-plasma dynamic (MPD) engine.
