There were many papers which changed the controllability into some uncheckable assumptions. The rea- son that these assumptions are uncheckable is because that controllability is a global prop盯ty and the dassical analy- sis works well for local problems only and is insufficient to cope with global problems. The differential geometrícal approach was introduced more than a decade ago where the original motivation was to give checkable conditions to the exact controllability of the wave equation with variable coefficients. Since then , many important advances in modeling and control in vibrational and structural dynamics have been made. Here we will brie{[y compare the Riemannian geometrical approach with some other main methods to show why it is a neces- sary t，∞1 to give checkable assumptions for control lability.
