Homework Statement



Two systems are given (both are completely controllable):
x-dot = Ax + bu
z-dot = A*z + b*u

They are related by the state transformation:

z=Tx

prove that the transformation matrix T is unique.

The Attempt at a Solution



Since the systems are completely controllable, we the kalman matrix (k=(b,Ab,A^2b,...) is non-singular. If T is unique, there is only one possible chose for the coefficients. I'm lost from there.

Please fix your LaTeX, particularly this bit
(k=(b,Ab,[ tex]^{}[/ tex]b,...)

It's causing a large, very wide blank area to be rendered on the page.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
