Definition (Controllability normal form)
Using the result from where the transformation T, we can construct a state transformation x~=Tx with x~˙(t)y(t)=[A~110A~12A~22]x~(t)+[B~10]u(t)=C~x~(t)where C~=CT−1 and the pair (A~11,B~1) is Controllable. We call this form the controllability normal form.
Lemma
Let S⊆Rn be an r-dimensional A-Invariant Subspace Rn, where A∈Mn(R). Then ∃T∈Mn(R), s.t. TAT−1=[A~110A~12A~22]TS=Image([Ir0])
Theorem (Construction of Controllability Normal Form)
Consider the LTIC system {x˙(t)=Ax(t)+Bu(t)y(t)=Cx(t)Let CA,B=[BAB…An−1B] be the Controllability Matrix of pair (A,B), and let r be the Rank of CA,B. Then, ∃T∈Mn(R) s.t. TAT−1=[A~110A~12A~22]TB=[B~10]for some A~11∈Mn(R),A~12∈Mr×(n−r)(R),A~22∈M(n−r)×(n−r)(R),B~1∈Mr×m(R) and the pair (A~11,B~1) is Controllable. Moreover, T⋅Image(CA,B)=Image([Ir0])
