In this study, controllability of discrete-time bilinear systems is studied. Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the systems to be controllable are presented. In particular, the sufficient conditions improve some existing results and the necessary conditions are new and easy to verify. Examples and simulations are provided to demonstrate the results of the paper.
