Abstract
Open dynamical systems which are governed by a finite number of ordinary differential equations with controls (time-dependent control parameters) constitute a large and important class of models for practical purposes. In the last few years, there has been considerable interest and progress in algebraic methods for solving the equations of the form
i.e. bilinear models. In this paper, intended as an expository introduction to the main results of system-theoretic approach to the modelling of open systems, a new “polynomial” representation of solutions to (*) is discussed.
