General Systems: A Multirelation Approach

Therefore, S is controllable on V' relative to G.
For V' ⊂ V, the input–output system S is collectively controllable on V'
relative to the mapping G : Dom(X
)
× Ran(Y) → V iff there exists a mapping
cg : Dom(X)
→ p
(Dom(
X)), where p
(Dom(
X)) is the power set of Dom(X), such
that for any v
∈ V' and any x ∈ Dom(X), there exists y = y
(
v, x) ∈ Ran(Y
) such
that
G
(z, y) = v
for some
z
∈
cg(
x
)

Theorem 9.6.3. For a subset V' ⊂ V, the input–output system S is collectively
controllable on V' relative to the mapping G : Dom(X
)
× Ran(Y) → V iff there
exists a nonempty subset A
⊆ Dom(X) such that G
(
A × Ran(Y)) ⊇ V'.
Proof: Necessity. Let cg : Dom(X)
→ p
(Dom(
X)) be a control function for
S. Then for any v
∈ V' and each x ∈ Dom(X), there exists a y ∈ Ran(Y ) such
that G
(
z, y) =
v for some z
∈ cg(x). Hence, there exists an x ∈ Dom(X) such that
G(cg(x)
× Ran(Y )) ⊇ V', where cg(x) ≠ Ø.
Sufficiency. Suppose there exists a nonempty subset A
⊆ Dom(X) such that
G
(
A × Ran(Y )) ⊇ V'. Let us define a control function cg : Dom(X) → p
(Dom(
X
))
as follows: cg(x) = A for all x ∈ Dom(X). Then for any v ∈ V' there exists
(
z, y) ∈ A × Ran(Y) such that G
(
z, y
) =
v. This implies that, for any v ∈ V' and
any x
∈ Dom(X), there exists y = y
(
v, x) ∈ Ran(Y ) such that G
(
z, y) = v. This
completes the proof of the theorem.
Examples can be given to show that not all systems are input–output systems.
In the following, we study the concept of controllability of general systems.
Suppose
S
= (
M, R
) is a general system. For any relation
r
∈
R
and any ordinal
number µ > 0, we define the µ-initial section of r, denoted by I(
r
µ
), as follows:
For any x
∈ I(
r
µ
) ⊂ M
µ
, there exists y ∈ M
v
such that (x, y) ∈ r, where v is a
nonzero ordinal number such that µ + v = n
(
r
) such that r ⊂ M
n(r
)
. We define
the µ-final section of r, denoted by E(r
µ
), as follows: for any x ∈ E(r
µ
) ⊂ M
v
,
there exists y
∈ I(
r
µ
) such that (
y, x) ∈ r.
