Synopsis

This paper gives sufficient conditions ensuring that a non-linear control system of the form

is controllable by means of control functions u(t), such that each ui(t) only takes two values, with a finite number of switches. It is assumed that the ‘unperturbed’ system ẋ = A(t)x + B(t)u is controllable in the usual sense, i.e. by measurable and bounded controls.
