Abstract
The paper presents a computation-oriented necessary and sufficient accessibility condition for the set of nonlinear higher- order input-output differential equations. The condition is presented in terms of the greatest common left divisor of two polynomial matrices, associated with the system of input-output equations. The basic difference from the linear case is that the elements of the polynomial matrices belong to a non-commutative polynomial ring. The condition found provides a basis for finding the accessible representation of the set of input-output equations, which is a suitable starting point for the construction of an observable and accessible state space realization. Moreover, the condition allows us to check the transfer equivalence of two nonlinear systems.
