Limitations Estimating the rank of the controllability matrix is ill-conditioned; that is, it is
very sensitive to round-off errors and errors in the data. An indication of this
can be seen from this simple example.
This pair is controllable if but if , where eps is the relative
machine precision.
ctrb(A,B) returns
which is not full rank. For cases like these, it is better to determine the
controllability of a system using
ctrbf.
