A method is proposed for approximating the reachable set from the origin for a class of n first order linear ordinary differential equations subject to bounded control. The technique involves decoupling the system equations into 1- and 2-dimensional linear subsystems, and then finding the reachable set of each of the subsystems. Having obtained bounds on each of the decoupled state variables, a n-dimensional parallelpiped is constructed which contains the reachable set from the origin for the original system. Several illustrative examples are presented for the case where the control is a scalar. The technique is also compared to a Lyapunov approach of approximating the reachable set in a simple 2-dimensional example.
