By focusing our investigation on the former class, we show through counterexamples that observability and controllability properties cannot be easily deduced from those of the component linear subsystems. Instead, we propose practical numerical tests based on mixed-integer linear programming. date: 2000-10 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control volume: 45 number: 10 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1864-1876 id_number: 10.1109/TAC.2000.880987 refereed: TRUE issn: 0018-9286 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=880987&isnumber=19074 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Ferrari-Trecate, Giancarlo and Morari, Manfred Observability and controllability of piecewise affine and hybrid systems.
