Data informativity

What is data informativity?

In system identification, data informativity is the property that one can distinguish between two models (with different dynamics) using the experimental data. It is related to the amount of information about the system dynamics carried by the data. If this property is not guaranteed, the resulting identified model may be completely inaccurate!

This property has been widely studied for single-input single-output linear systems, partially for multiple-inputs multiple-outputs linear systems and never for nonlinear systems. I have contributed in developing new results with the aim of conpleting the missing cases.
