AbstractIn this paper we derive various characterizations of strong observability (or observability with unknown inputs) of time-dependent linear systems
$$\dot x = Ax + Bu,y = C_0 x$$
with state x, control u, and output y, provided that the matrices A, B, and C0 are smooth enough. We show that strong observability is equivalent to the definiteness of a corresponding quadratic functional, and particularly to a certain asymptotic behaviour of solutions of associated Riccati matrix differential equations. The main tools for the proofs are an application of Ehrling's lemma and a characterization of strong observability via a rank condition on matrices, which are built up from derivatives of the matrices A, B, and C0.
