The result gives intuitive and physical information about the controllability and it extends the well-known result on the single-sinkcase. Furthermore, this result is applied to more special models, called undirected compartmental models, by which physical systems such as a class of liquid systems and of network systems, etc., can be concisely modeled.}, pages = {17--24}, title = {On the structural controllability of compartmental systems}, volume = {29}, year = {1984} }
