Abstract

In the last decade the behavioral point of view [8, 11, 12] has received an increasingly broader acceptance as an approach for modeling dynamical systems, and now is generally viewed as a cogent framework for system analysis. One of the reasons of its success has to be looked for in the fact that it does not start with the input/output point of view for describing how a system interacts with its environment, but focuses on the set of system trajectories, the behavior, and hence on the mathematical model describing the relations among all system variables.

Part of the results achieved in this paper were obtained during the author’s stay in Groningen, which was financially supported by the ESF Cosy Projecty.
