(1976).</ref> The main question is whether the lack of controllability or observability are generic with respect to the variable system parameters. In the framework of structural control the system parameters are either independent free variables or fixed zeros. This is consistent for models of physical systems since parameter values are never known exactly, with the exception of zero values which express the absence of interactions or connections. | (1976).</ref> The main question is whether the lack of controllability or observability are generic with respect to the variable system parameters.
