Transfer Function
For single-input, single-output system with input x(t) and
output y(t), the transfer function relating the output to the
input is defined as:

D=d/dt. zero is the characteristic
equation. Consequently if all
the roots of the denominator
have negative real parts, the
system is stable.

5. The roots of the denominator
are the system poles and the
roots of the numerator are the
system zeros. The system
transfer function can then be
specified to within a constant
by specifying the system
poles and zeros. This
constant, usually denoted by
K, is the system gain-factor.

SINGULARITY FUNCTION
In the study of control systems and the equations which
describe them, a particular family of functions called
singularity functions is used extensively. Each member of
this family is related to the others by one or more
integrations or differentiations. The three most widely
used singularity functions are the UNIT STEP, the UNIT
IMPULSE, and the UNIT RAMP.
