  • Abstract
    An algorithm for removing uncontrollable (unobservable) state variables from time-varying systems is presented. The algorithm makes use of the time-variable controllability (observability) matrix which is augmented with the identity matrix and transformed into Hermite normal form. In this new set of coordinates, the uncontrollable (unobservable) state variables are easily identified and removed. An example is given.
