DISC Systems and Control Theory <strong>of</strong> Nonlinear Systems 28Hence we conclude that C is spanned by all constant vector fieldsb i , Ab i , A 2 b i , . . ., i ∈ m, together with the linear drift vector field Ax,i.e.,C = {Ax, b i , Ab i , A 2 b i . . .,A n−1 b i , i = 1, . . .,m}.whileC 0 = columns <strong>of</strong> (B, AB, A 2 B . . .,A n−1 B)We see that for linear <strong>systems</strong> the rank condition for strongaccessibility coincides with the Kalman rank condition forcontrollability. Hence, if we would not have known anything specialabout linear <strong>systems</strong>, then at least a linear system which satisfiesthe Kalman rank condition is locally strongly accessible.
