Abstract
Stability, controllability and observability are one of the fundamental concepts in modern mathematical control theory. They are qualitative properties of control systems and are of particular importance in control theory. Systematic study of controllability and observability was started at the beginning of sixties, when the theory of controllability and observability based on the description in the form of state space for both time-invariant and time-varying linear control systems was worked out. The concept of stability is extremely important, because almost every workable control system is designed to be stable. If a control system is not stable, it is usually of no use in practice.
