A few years ago, Kalman [1],[2] proved a structure theorem for linear time-invariant systems of the form (1) which was motivated by some work of Gilbert [3]. An extension, to the time-varying case was stated (without proof) by Kalman in [2] and, based on that, a further extension was subse-quently stated (also without proof) bythe writer [4],[5] using the concepts of" anticusal" controllability and observability. The crux of he original statemet of the theorem nd of the subsequen extensions was the assertion that given a fixed instant of time, there exists a coordinte trausformtio which c). vers the coeificiet matrices of (1) into a special, form valid at the fixed i’cstant t. It is generally recognized hat a more sisfyiug resul than. the one described bove would consist of the ability to assert existence of" co--tinuously varying" coordinate ransformation which effects a structural decomposition of (1) valid for all (or, a least, for all _> _ t’for some fixed) into interconnected component subsystemswhose mathematical representation and system-theoretic properties are similar to those indicated in the early theorems on structure. Some progress has been made in this direction (see, for instunce,[6]), based essentially on a procedure suggested by the writer (see proof of Theorem 9 in [5]) for obtaining globally reduced weighting patterns (: tnd therefore minimal realizations) of linear systems from given nonreduced weighting patterns. However, the suggested pro-cedure involves performing an initial coordinate transformation, so as to
