class lti(LinearTimeInvariant):
    r"""
    Continuous-time linear time invariant system base class.

    Parameters
    ----------
    *system : arguments
        The `lti` class can be instantiated with either 2, 3 or 4 arguments.
        The following gives the number of arguments and the corresponding
        continuous-time subclass that is created:

            * 2: `TransferFunction`:  (numerator, denominator)
            * 3: `ZerosPolesGain`: (zeros, poles, gain)
            * 4: `StateSpace`:  (A, B, C, D)

        Each argument can be an array or a sequence.

    See Also
    --------
    ZerosPolesGain, StateSpace, TransferFunction, dlti

    Notes
    -----
    `lti` instances do not exist directly. Instead, `lti` creates an instance
    of one of its subclasses: `StateSpace`, `TransferFunction` or
    `ZerosPolesGain`.

    If (numerator, denominator) is passed in for ``*system``, coefficients for
    both the numerator and denominator should be specified in descending
    exponent order (e.g., ``s^2 + 3s + 5`` would be represented as ``[1, 3,
    5]``).

    Changing the value of properties that are not directly part of the current
    system representation (such as the `zeros` of a `StateSpace` system) is
    very inefficient and may lead to numerical inaccuracies. It is better to
    convert to the specific system representation first. For example, call
    ``sys = sys.to_zpk()`` before accessing/changing the zeros, poles or gain.

    Continuous-time Linear Time Invariant system in transfer function form.

    Represents the system as the transfer function
    :math:`H(s)=\sum_{i=0}^N b[N-i] s^i / \sum_{j=0}^M a[M-j] s^j`, where
    :math:`b` are elements of the numerator `num`, :math:`a` are elements of

    Parameters
    ----------

    Changing the value of properties that are not part of the

    accessing/changing the A, B, C, D system matrices.

    If (numerator, denominator) is passed in for ``*system``, coefficients
    for both the numerator and denominator should be specified in descending

        The `ZerosPolesGain` class can be instantiated with 1 or 3
        arguments. The following gives the number of input arguments and their
        interpretation:

            * 1: `dlti` system: (`StateSpace`, `TransferFunction` or
              `ZerosPolesGain`)
            * 3: array_like: (zeros, poles, gain)
    dt: float, optional
        Sampling time [s] of the discrete-time systems. Defaults to `True`
        (unspecified sampling time). Must be specified as a keyword argument,
        for example, ``dt=0.1``.

    See Also
    --------
    TransferFunction, StateSpace, dlti
    zpk2ss, zpk2tf, zpk2sos

    Notes
    -----
    Changing the value of properties that are not part of the
    `ZerosPolesGain` system representation (such as the `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`
    state-space matrices) is very inefficient and may lead to numerical
    inaccuracies.  It is better to convert to the specific system
    representation first. For example, call ``sys = sys.to_ss()`` before
    accessing/changing the A, B, C, D system matrices.

    Examples
    --------
    Construct the transfer function
    :math:`H(s) = \frac{5(s - 1)(s - 2)}{(s - 3)(s - 4)}`:

    >>> from scipy import signal

    >>> signal.ZerosPolesGain([1, 2], [3, 4], 5)
    ZerosPolesGainContinuous(
    array([1, 2]),
    array([3, 4]),
    5,
    dt: None
    )

    Construct the transfer function
    :math:`H(s) = \frac{5(z - 1)(z - 2)}{(z - 3)(z - 4)}` with a sampling time
    of 0.1 seconds:

    >>> signal.ZerosPolesGain([1, 2], [3, 4], 5, dt=0.1)
    ZerosPolesGainDiscrete(
    array([1, 2]),
    array([3, 4]),

    Linear Time Invariant system in state-space form.

    Represents the system as the continuous-time, first order differential
    equation :math:`\dot{x} = A x + B u` or the discrete-time difference
    equation :math:`x[k+1] = A x[k] + B u[k]`. `StateSpace` systems

class StateSpaceDiscrete(StateSpace, dlti):
    r"""
    Discrete-time Linear Time Invariant system in state-space form.

    Represents the system as the discrete-time difference equation
    :math:`x[k+1] = A x[k] + B u[k]`.
    `StateSpace` systems inherit additional functionality from the `dlti`
    class.

    Parameters
    ----------
    *system: arguments
        The `StateSpace` class can be instantiated with 1 or 3 arguments.
        The following gives the number of input arguments and their
        interpretation:

            * 1: `dlti` system: (`StateSpace`, `TransferFunction` or
              `ZerosPolesGain`)
            * 4: array_like: (A, B, C, D)
    dt: float, optional
        Sampling time [s] of the discrete-time systems. Defaults to `True`
        (unspecified sampling time). Must be specified as a keyword argument,
        for example, ``dt=0.1``.

    See Also
    --------
    TransferFunction, ZerosPolesGain, dlti
    ss2zpk, ss2tf, zpk2sos

    Notes
    -----
    Changing the value of properties that are not part of the
    `StateSpace` system representation (such as `zeros` or `poles`) is very
    inefficient and may lead to numerical inaccuracies.  It is better to
    convert to the specific system representation first. For example, call
    ``sys = sys.to_zpk()`` before accessing/changing the zeros, poles or gain.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from scipy import signal

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 0.1], [0, 1]])
    >>> b = np.array([[0.005], [0.1]])
    >>> c = np.array([[1, 0]])
    >>> d = np.array([[0]])

    >>> signal.StateSpace(a, b, c, d, dt=0.1)

def lsim2(system, U=None, T=None, X0=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Simulate output of a continuous-time linear system, by using
    the ODE solver `scipy.integrate.odeint`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    system : an instance of the `lti` class or a tuple describing the system.
        The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and
        the interpretation:

        * 1: (instance of `lti`)
        * 2: (num, den)
        * 3: (zeros, poles, gain)
        * 4: (A, B, C, D)

    U : array_like (1D or 2D), optional
        An input array describing the input at each time T.  Linear
        interpolation is used between given times.  If there are
        multiple inputs, then each column of the rank-2 array
        represents an input.  If U is not given, the input is assumed
        to be zero.
    T : array_like (1D or 2D), optional
        The time steps at which the input is defined and at which the
        output is desired.  The default is 101 evenly spaced points on
        the interval [0,10.0].
    X0 : array_like (1D), optional
        The initial condition of the state vector.  If `X0` is not
        given, the initial conditions are assumed to be 0.
    kwargs : dict
        Additional keyword arguments are passed on to the function
        `odeint`.  See the notes below for more details.

    Returns
    -------
    T : 1D ndarray
        The time values for the output.
    yout : ndarray
        The response of the system.
    xout : ndarray
        The time-evolution of the state-vector.

    Notes
    -----
    This function uses `scipy.integrate.odeint` to solve the
    system's differential equations.  Additional keyword arguments
    given to `lsim2` are passed on to `odeint`.  See the documentation
    for `scipy.integrate.odeint` for the full list of arguments.

    If (num, den) is passed in for ``system``, coefficients for both the
    numerator and denominator should be specified in descending exponent
    order (e.g. ``s^2 + 3s + 5`` would be represented as ``[1, 3, 5]``).

    See Also
    --------
    lsim

    Examples
    --------
    We'll use `lsim2` to simulate an analog Bessel filter applied to
    a signal.

    >>> from scipy.signal import bessel, lsim2
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    Create a low-pass Bessel filter with a cutoff of 12 Hz.

    >>> b, a = bessel(N=5, Wn=2*np.pi*12, btype='lowpass', analog=True)

    Generate data to which the filter is applied.

    >>> t = np.linspace(0, 1.25, 500, endpoint=False)

    The input signal is the sum of three sinusoidal curves, with
    frequencies 4 Hz, 40 Hz, and 80 Hz.  The filter should mostly
    eliminate the 40 Hz and 80 Hz components, leaving just the 4 Hz signal.

    >>> u = (np.cos(2*np.pi*4*t) + 0.6*np.sin(2*np.pi*40*t) +
    ...      0.5*np.cos(2*np.pi*80*t))

    Simulate the filter with `lsim2`.

    >>> tout, yout, xout = lsim2((b, a), U=u, T=t)

    Plot the result.

    >>> plt.plot(t, u, 'r', alpha=0.5, linewidth=1, label='input')
    >>> plt.plot(tout, yout, 'k', linewidth=1.5, label='output')
    >>> plt.legend(loc='best', shadow=True, framealpha=1)
    >>> plt.grid(alpha=0.3)
    >>> plt.xlabel('t')
    >>> plt.show()

    In a second example, we simulate a double integrator ``y'' = u``, with
    a constant input ``u = 1``.  We'll use the state space representation
    of the integrator.

    >>> from scipy.signal import lti
    >>> A = np.array([[0, 1], [0, 0]])
    >>> B = np.array([[0], [1]])
    >>> C = np.array([[1, 0]])
    >>> D = 0
    >>> system = lti(A, B, C, D)

    `t` and `u` define the time and input signal for the system to
    be simulated.

    >>> t = np.linspace(0, 5, num=50)
    >>> u = np.ones_like(t)

    Compute the simulation, and then plot `y`.  As expected, the plot shows
    the curve ``y = 0.5*t**2``.

    >>> tout, y, x = lsim2(system, u, t)
    >>> plt.plot(t, y)
    >>> plt.grid(alpha=0.3)

    Notes
    -----
    The Tits and Yang (YT), [2]_ paper is an update of the original Kautsky et
    al. (KNV) paper [1]_.  KNV relies on rank-1 updates to find the transfer
    matrix X such that ``X * diag(poles) = (A - B*K)*X``, whereas YT uses
    rank-2 updates. This yields on average more robust solutions (see [2]_
    pp 21-22), furthermore the YT algorithm supports complex poles whereas KNV
    does not in its original version.  Only update method 0 proposed by KNV has
    been implemented here, hence the name ``'KNV0'``.

    KNV extended to complex poles is used in Matlab's ``place`` function, YT is
    distributed under a non-free licence by Slicot under the name ``robpole``.
    It is unclear and undocumented how KNV0 has been extended to complex poles
    (Tits and Yang claim on page 14 of their paper that their method can not be
    used to extend KNV to complex poles), therefore only YT supports them in
    this implementation.

    As the solution to the problem of pole placement is not unique for MIMO
    systems, both methods start with a tentative transfer matrix which is
    altered in various way to increase its determinant.  Both methods have been
    proven to converge to a stable solution, however depending on the way the
    initial transfer matrix is chosen they will converge to different
    solutions and therefore there is absolutely no guarantee that using
    ``'KNV0'`` will yield results similar to Matlab's or any other
    implementation of these algorithms.

    Using the default method ``'YT'`` should be fine in most cases; ``'KNV0'``
    is only provided because it is needed by ``'YT'`` in some specific cases.
    Furthermore ``'YT'`` gives on average more robust results than ``'KNV0'``
    when ``abs(det(X))`` is used as a robustness indicator.

    Examples
    --------
    A simple example demonstrating real pole placement using both KNV and YT
    algorithms.  This is example number 1 from section 4 of the reference KNV
    publication ([1]_):

    >>> from scipy import signal
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    >>> A = np.array([[ 1.380,  -0.2077,  6.715, -5.676  ],
    ...               [-0.5814, -4.290,   0,      0.6750 ],
    ...               [ 1.067,   4.273,  -6.654,  5.893  ],
    ...               [ 0.0480,  4.273,   1.343, -2.104  ]])
    >>> B = np.array([[ 0,      5.679 ],
    ...               [ 1.136,  1.136 ],
    ...               [ 0,      0,    ],
    ...               [-3.146,  0     ]])
    >>> P = np.array([-0.2, -0.5, -5.0566, -8.6659])

    Now compute K with KNV method 0, with the default YT method and with the YT
    method while forcing 100 iterations of the algorithm and print some results
    after each call.

    The absolute value of the determinant of X is a good indicator to check the
    robustness of the results, both ``'KNV0'`` and ``'YT'`` aim at maximizing
    it.  Below a comparison of the robustness of the results above:

    >>> abs(np.linalg.det(fsf1.X)) < abs(np.linalg.det(fsf2.X))
    True
    >>> abs(np.linalg.det(fsf2.X)) < abs(np.linalg.det(fsf3.X))
    True

    Now a simple example for complex poles:

    >>> A = np.array([[ 0,  7/3.,  0,   0   ],
    ...               [ 0,   0,    0,  7/9. ],
    ...               [ 0,   0,    0,   0   ],
    ...               [ 0,   0,    0,   0   ]])
    >>> B = np.array([[ 0,  0 ],
    ...               [ 0,  0 ],
    ...               [ 1,  0 ],
    ...               [ 0,  1 ]])
    >>> P = np.array([-3, -1, -2-1j, -2+1j]) / 3.
    >>> fsf = signal.place_poles(A, B, P, method='YT')

    We can plot the desired and computed poles in the complex plane:

    >>> t = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 401)
    >>> plt.plot(np.cos(t), np.sin(t), 'k--')  # unit circle
    >>> plt.plot(fsf.requested_poles.real, fsf.requested_poles.imag,
    ...          'wo', label='Desired')
    >>> plt.plot(fsf.computed_poles.real, fsf.computed_poles.imag, 'bx',
    ...          label='Placed')
    >>> plt.grid()
    >>> plt.axis('image')
    >>> plt.axis([-1.1, 1.1, -1.1, 1.1])
    >>> plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2, numpoints=1)

    system : tuple of array_like or instance of `dlti`

def dfreqresp(system, w=None, n=10000, whole=False):
    r"""
    Calculate the frequency response of a discrete-time system.

    Parameters
    ----------
    system : an instance of the `dlti` class or a tuple describing the system.
        The following gives the number of elements in the tuple and
        the interpretation:

            * 1 (instance of `dlti`)
            * 2 (numerator, denominator, dt)
            * 3 (zeros, poles, gain, dt)
            * 4 (A, B, C, D, dt)

    w : array_like, optional
        Array of frequencies (in radians/sample). Magnitude and phase data is
        calculated for every value in this array. If not given a reasonable
        set will be calculated.
    n : int, optional
        Number of frequency points to compute if `w` is not given. The `n`
        frequencies are logarithmically spaced in an interval chosen to
        include the influence of the poles and zeros of the system.
    whole : bool, optional
        Normally, if 'w' is not given, frequencies are computed from 0 to the
        Nyquist frequency, pi radians/sample (upper-half of unit-circle). If
        `whole` is True, compute frequencies from 0 to 2*pi radians/sample.

    Returns
    -------
    w : 1D ndarray
        Frequency array [radians/sample]
    H : 1D ndarray
        Array of complex magnitude values

    Notes
    -----
    If (num, den) is passed in for ``system``, coefficients for both the
    numerator and denominator should be specified in descending exponent
    order (e.g. ``z^2 + 3z + 5`` would be represented as ``[1, 3, 5]``).
