The methods of Lie theory have found widespread application in the study of the Lie algebras of vector fields on manifolds that arise naturally in geometric control theory (for some such applications, see [1]). Control systems on Lie groups themselves also have received considerable attention (see, for example, [9]). After reviewing basic facts about control systems on Lie groups, we derive the close relationship between attainable sets and Rådström's theory [12] of one-parameter semigroups of sets (Section 2). These ideas are then linked to the recently emerging Lie theory of semigroups [5]. The authors are indebted to the referee for pointing out some of the pertinent literature and analogous results from the area of geometric control.
