Several deterministic identification problems, with partial realization being a special case, are unified in the framework of the mathematical problem "generalized dynamic covers".An algorithm to find such a minimal dynamic cover as well as a uniqueness criterion is given, which yields several identifiability results. This problem also includes the "observer" and the ltexact model matching" problems, as well as the problem of finding "minimal inverses for linear systems with arbitrary initial states".
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.
