Controllable system?

So I have my equation of motion for an inverted pendulum on a cart: (linearised about the upright position and X denoting the position of the cart):



$$ ddot{theta}-theta = ddot{X} $$



Rather than dealing with a 4x4 system I’d like to set $ddot{X} = a theta +b dot{theta}$ but now I’m struggling to write my system in the form:



$$dot{x} = Ax + Bu$$



as I can’t determine what my control Bu is now that I’m not applying a direct force to the cart?

          You are only using one half of the equations of motion. The other half contains an external force, which will be your input $u$.
