Python Control Systems Library
==============================

The Python Control Systems Library (`python-control`) is a Python package that
implements basic operations for analysis and design of feedback control systems.


.. rubric:: Features

- Linear input/output systems in state-space and frequency domain
- Block diagram algebra: serial, parallel, and feedback interconnections
- Time response: initial, step, impulse
- Frequency response: Bode and Nyquist plots
- Control analysis: stability, reachability, observability, stability margins
- Control design: eigenvalue placement, linear quadratic regulator
- Estimator design: linear quadratic estimator (Kalman filter)
