Nonlinear controllability and observability with applications to gradient systems

We extend the theory of nonlinear observability due to Hermann- Krener [5] to the non-regular case, in which the observability codistribution is not constant dimensional, and we obtain results in some sense dual of the ones already known for accessibility. We discuss a conjecture of P. Varaya [15],...
