In this thesis, the author introduces the concept of ensemble observability of dynamical systems and develop a theoretical framework in which this system property is characterized. An ensemble is a collection of nearly identical copies of one dynamical system, and it is said to be observable if the distribution of the nonidentical initial states can be reconstructed from observing the time evolution of a corresponding distribution of outputs. Similarly, a single dynamical system with output is said to be ensemble observable if a collection of copies of this system, with different initial states, is observable when considered as an ensemble. The consideration of ensemble observability is, in particular, motivated by recent efforts in the study of heterogeneous cell populations. Therein one aims to reconstruct a distribution of states within a population of cells, but is only given the time evolution of the distribution of certain measured quantities within the population. More generally, the motivation for introducing ensemble observability is rooted in the very concept of ensembles itself, in which a collection of individual systems may only be considered as a whole. A main result of this thesis illustrates a fundamental connection between the concept of ensemble observability and mathematical tomography problems. Another main result concerns a natural connection to polynomial systems, which is encountered in the course of a systems theoretic treatment of the ensemble observability problem through the consideration of moments of the distributions. The author also establishes a duality of both approaches for linear systems.
