The paper finds the singular points from which (to which) the generically accessible system is not weakly reachable (controllable) in k steps. These points are found with the help of the space of vector fields, being the discrete-time analogue of the strong accessibility distribution. Unlike in the continuous-time case, separate object is needed to find the singular points related to weak reachability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
