Abstract : We propose an explicit, easily-computable algebraic criterion for approximate null-controllability of a class of general piecewise linear switch systems with multiplicative noise. This gives an answer to the general problem left open in [13]. The proof relies on recent results in [4] allowing to reduce the dual stochastic backward system to a family of ordinary differential equations. Second, we prove by examples that the notion of approximate controllability is strictly stronger than approximate null-controllability. A sufficient criterion for this stronger notion is also provided. The results are illustrated on a model derived from repressed bacterium operon (given in [19] and reduced in [5]).
