We show that it is possible to give rather explicit expressions for the reachable set and the set of indistinguishable states in the case of autonomous systems. We also establish a type of state space isomorphism theorem. These results parallel, and in part specialize to, results available for the familiar case described by $\dot x(t) = Ax(t) + Bu(t)$, $y(t) = Cx(t)$. Our objective is to reduce all questions about the system to questions about Lie algebras generated from the coefficient matrices entering in the description of the system and in that way arrive at conditions which are easily visualized and tested.Read More
