Continuous Petri nets: controllability and control

J Júlvez, CR Vázquez, C Mahulea, M Silva - Control of Discrete-Event …, 2013 - Springer
Controllability is a property related to the capability of driving a system to any desirable
(steady) state or state trajectory. As in discrete nets, continuous nets can be controlled by …
