A local controllability test for nonlinear multiple model systems

Develops a local controllability result for multiple model driftless affine control systems. The controllability result can be interpreted as a non-smooth extension of Chow's theorem (1939), and uses a set-valued Lie bracket. These results are interpreted in terms of an illustrative example involving an overconstrained wheeled vehicle.
