If (A,B) is controllable, is $(A^2,B)$ controllable as well?

$begingroup$


I'm assuming a 3x3 matrix with controllability matrix as $[B AB A^2B]$. I feel that if A is a nilpotent matrix with n=4, then controllability of $(A^2,B)$ would be $[B A^2B A^4B]=[B A^2B 0]$ which would make the rank<3 and therefore uncontrollable. Am I right? Or am I missing something?

          An obvious example along the lines indicated in your question is the pair $(A,B)$ with $A=begin{bmatrix}0&1\0&0end{bmatrix}$ and $B=begin{bmatrix}0\1end{bmatrix}$. $(A,B)$ is controllable while $(A^2,B)$ is not.
