Abstract:

In 1955, Martin Kneser showed that the Minkowski content of a compact $p$-rectifiable subset $M$ of $R^n$ is equal to its $p$-Hausdorff measure. We extend his result to the reachable sets of a linear control system $$ \dot{x}= f(x) \> u, $$ and we give an interpretation in terms of Riemannian distance.

Keywords: Minkowski content, tubes, reachable sets
