History ''Amorella'' was ordered in 1986 by SF Line, one of the partners in Viking Line consortium. Although Brodosplit outbid other shipyards, the Finnish State offered to subsidise construction of the ship if she was built at a Finnish shipyard. This was a common practice in the 1980s to bring more jobs to Finland, but this time SF Line declined and had the ship built in Croatia. The original planned delivery date for ''Amorella'' was in March 1988, but due to delays in construction she was not completed until September, which meant SF Line was forced to operate the lucrative summ ...

Controllability and observability are dual notions. Controllability pertains to regulating the state by a choice of a suitable input, while observability pertains to being able to know the state by observing the output (assuming that the input is also being observed). Broadly speaking, the concept of controllability relates to the ability to steer a system around in its configuration space using only certain admissible manipulations. The exact definition varies depending on the framework or the type of models dealt with. The following are examples of variants of notions of controllability that have been introduced in the systems and control literature: * State controllability ...
