Dynamical systems are systems that evolve with respect to time. They represent the overwhelming majority of systems. The objective of scientists is first to model them as accurately as possible in order to have optimal knowledge of their evolution and to design controls of the evolution in order to accomplish certain objectives. A significant evolution in the modeling and theory of dynamical systems occurred in the late 1950s and early 1960s, resulting in what is called the modern theory of dynamical systems and control theory. A key element is the state representation of dynamical systems, also called the internal representation. Previously, dynamical systems were modeled by an external representation, also called an input–output relation. It is the idea of a black box. In such a framework, one can see only how the system reacts to inputs. This approach is particularly meaningful when there is no knowledge model available, justifying the terminology black box. For an engineer, who is not so interested in a full knowledge of a system but rather in its behavior when it receives stimuli, the external representation is a useful approach. We shall not develop it here, since it has clearly been superseded by the modern theory. Let us simply recall a few basic elements. Suppose a system can receive m inputs, represented by a time-dependent vector v (t)∈ Rm. Suppose we observe outputs z (t)∈ Rp. In the simplest case, in which the system reacts linearly, the input–output relation can be written as z (t)=∫ t t0 h (t, τ) v (τ) dτ, in which t0 is an initial time, and the matrix function h (t, τ) characterizes the reaction function. All the information of interest for the engineer is included in that function. The stationary case corresponds to t0= 0 and h (t, τ)= h (t− τ),
