Abstract
In this paper, we give an in depth study of linear delay systems controllability preservation/alteration through discretization. We make use of a module theoretic framework acting as a unifying one for most of the existing delay system controllability notions. We propose a formal generic definition of a discretization scheme and illustrate through examples that controllability properties may be lost through discretization. Then, we introduce the notion of preservation (that is, a measure of quantifying the ability of the discretizer to preserve controllability properties) and prove that for a given discretizer, we can always find a delay system for which even the torsion-free controllability (which is the weakest controllability notion) is not preserved. Finally, we reverse the situation, and show that for any given delay system, preserving discretizers exist.
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
