In this paper, we study some non-negative integers related to a linear time varying system and to some Krylov sub-spaces associated to this system. Such integers are similar to the controllability indices and have been used in the literature to derive results on the controllability of linear systems. The purpose of this paper goes in the same direction by studying the local behavior of these integers especially nearby instants in the time interval with some maximal rank condition and then apply them to get some results which generalize the mentioned existing results.
