Pairs of $k$-step reachability and $m$-step observability matrices

Abstract

Let $V$ and $W$ be matrices of size $n\times pk$ and $qm\times n$, respectively. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a triple $(A,B,C)$ such that $V$ a $k$-step reachability matrix of $(A,B)$ and $W$ an $m$-step observability matrix of $(A,C)$.
