contents This paper presents a closed-form notion of controllability and observability for systems with communication delays, actuation delays, and locality constraints. The formulation reduces to classical notions of controllability and observability in the unconstrained setting. As a consequence of our formulation, we show that the addition of locality and communication constraints may not affect the controllability and observability of the system, and we provide an efficient sufficient condition under which this phenomenon occurs. This contrasts with actuation and sensing delays, which cause a gradual loss of controllability and observability as the delays increase. We illustrate our results using linearized swing equations for the power grid, showing how actuation delay and locality constraints affect controllability.
