class TransferFunction(SISOLinearTimeInvariant):
    r"""
    A class for representing LTI (Linear, time-invariant) systems that can be strictly described
    by ratio of polynomials in the Laplace transform complex variable. The arguments
    are ``num``, ``den``, and ``var``, where ``num`` and ``den`` are numerator and
    denominator polynomials of the ``TransferFunction`` respectively, and the third argument is
    a complex variable of the Laplace transform used by these polynomials of the transfer function.
    ``num`` and ``den`` can be either polynomials or numbers, whereas ``var``
    has to be a :py:class:`~.Symbol`.

    Explanation
    ===========

    Generally, a dynamical system representing a physical model can be described in terms of Linear
    Ordinary Differential Equations like -

            $\small{b_{m}y^{\left(m\right)}+b_{m-1}y^{\left(m-1\right)}+\dots+b_{1}y^{\left(1\right)}+b_{0}y=
            a_{n}x^{\left(n\right)}+a_{n-1}x^{\left(n-1\right)}+\dots+a_{1}x^{\left(1\right)}+a_{0}x}$

    Here, $x$ is the input signal and $y$ is the output signal and superscript on both is the order of derivative
    (not exponent). Derivative is taken with respect to the independent variable, $t$. Also, generally $m$ is greater
    than $n$.

    It is not feasible to analyse the properties of such systems in their native form therefore, we use
    mathematical tools like Laplace transform to get a better perspective. Taking the Laplace transform
    of both the sides in the equation (at zero initial conditions), we get -

            $\small{\mathcal{L}[b_{m}y^{\left(m\right)}+b_{m-1}y^{\left(m-1\right)}+\dots+b_{1}y^{\left(1\right)}+b_{0}y]=
            \mathcal{L}[a_{n}x^{\left(n\right)}+a_{n-1}x^{\left(n-1\right)}+\dots+a_{1}x^{\left(1\right)}+a_{0}x]}$

    Using the linearity property of Laplace transform and also considering zero initial conditions
    (i.e. $\small{y(0^{-}) = 0}$, $\small{y'(0^{-}) = 0}$ and so on), the equation
    above gets translated to -

            $\small{b_{m}\mathcal{L}[y^{\left(m\right)}]+\dots+b_{1}\mathcal{L}[y^{\left(1\right)}]+b_{0}\mathcal{L}[y]=
            a_{n}\mathcal{L}[x^{\left(n\right)}]+\dots+a_{1}\mathcal{L}[x^{\left(1\right)}]+a_{0}\mathcal{L}[x]}$

    Now, applying Derivative property of Laplace transform,

            $\small{b_{m}s^{m}\mathcal{L}[y]+\dots+b_{1}s\mathcal{L}[y]+b_{0}\mathcal{L}[y]=
            a_{n}s^{n}\mathcal{L}[x]+\dots+a_{1}s\mathcal{L}[x]+a_{0}\mathcal{L}[x]}$

    Here, the superscript on $s$ is **exponent**. Note that the zero initial conditions assumption, mentioned above, is very important
    and cannot be ignored otherwise the dynamical system cannot be considered time-independent and the simplified equation above
    cannot be reached.

    Collecting $\mathcal{L}[y]$ and $\mathcal{L}[x]$ terms from both the sides and taking the ratio
    $\frac{ \mathcal{L}\left\{y\right\} }{ \mathcal{L}\left\{x\right\} }$, we get the typical rational form of transfer
    function.

    The numerator of the transfer function is, therefore, the Laplace transform of the output signal
    (The signals are represented as functions of time) and similarly, the denominator
    of the transfer function is the Laplace transform of the input signal. It is also a convention
    to denote the input and output signal's Laplace transform with capital alphabets like shown below.

            $H(s) = \frac{Y(s)}{X(s)} = \frac{ \mathcal{L}\left\{y(t)\right\} }{ \mathcal{L}\left\{x(t)\right\} }$

    $s$, also known as complex frequency, is a complex variable in the Laplace domain. It corresponds to the
    equivalent variable $t$, in the time domain. Transfer functions are sometimes also referred to as the Laplace
    transform of the system's impulse response. Transfer function, $H$, is represented as a rational
    function in $s$ like,

            $H(s) =\ \frac{a_{n}s^{n}+a_{n-1}s^{n-1}+\dots+a_{1}s+a_{0}}{b_{m}s^{m}+b_{m-1}s^{m-1}+\dots+b_{1}s+b_{0}}$

    Parameters
    ==========

    num : Expr, Number
        The numerator polynomial of the transfer function.
    den : Expr, Number
        The denominator polynomial of the transfer function.
    var : Symbol
        Complex variable of the Laplace transform used by the
        polynomials of the transfer function.

    Raises
    ======

    TypeError
        When ``var`` is not a Symbol or when ``num`` or ``den`` is not a
        number or a polynomial.
    ValueError
        When ``den`` is zero.

    Examples
    ========

    >>> from sympy.abc import s, p, a
    >>> from sympy.physics.control.lti import TransferFunction
    >>> tf1 = TransferFunction(s + a, s**2 + s + 1, s)
    >>> tf1
    TransferFunction(a + s, s**2 + s + 1, s)
    >>> tf1.num
    a + s
    >>> tf1.den
    s**2 + s + 1
    >>> tf1.var
    s
    >>> tf1.args
    (a + s, s**2 + s + 1, s)

    Any complex variable can be used for ``var``.

    >>> tf2 = TransferFunction(a*p**3 - a*p**2 + s*p, p + a**2, p)
    >>> tf2
    TransferFunction(a*p**3 - a*p**2 + p*s, a**2 + p, p)
    >>> tf3 = TransferFunction((p + 3)*(p - 1), (p - 1)*(p + 5), p)
    >>> tf3
    TransferFunction((p - 1)*(p + 3), (p - 1)*(p + 5), p)

    To negate a transfer function the ``-`` operator can be prepended:

    >>> tf4 = TransferFunction(-a + s, p**2 + s, p)
    >>> -tf4
    TransferFunction(a - s, p**2 + s, p)
    >>> tf5 = TransferFunction(s**4 - 2*s**3 + 5*s + 4, s + 4, s)
    >>> -tf5
    TransferFunction(-s**4 + 2*s**3 - 5*s - 4, s + 4, s)

    You can use a float or an integer (or other constants) as numerator and denominator:

    >>> tf6 = TransferFunction(1/2, 4, s)
    >>> tf6.num
    0.500000000000000
    >>> tf6.den
    4
    >>> tf6.var
    s
    >>> tf6.args
    (0.5, 4, s)

    You can take the integer power of a transfer function using the ``**`` operator:

    >>> tf7 = TransferFunction(s + a, s - a, s)
    >>> tf7**3
    TransferFunction((a + s)**3, (-a + s)**3, s)
    >>> tf7**0
    TransferFunction(1, 1, s)
    >>> tf8 = TransferFunction(p + 4, p - 3, p)
    >>> tf8**-1
    TransferFunction(p - 3, p + 4, p)

    Addition, subtraction, and multiplication of transfer functions can form
    unevaluated ``Series`` or ``Parallel`` objects.

    >>> tf9 = TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s)
    >>> tf10 = TransferFunction(s - p, s + 3, s)
    >>> tf11 = TransferFunction(4*s**2 + 2*s - 4, s - 1, s)
    >>> tf12 = TransferFunction(1 - s, s**2 + 4, s)
    >>> tf9 + tf10
    Parallel(TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s))
    >>> tf10 - tf11
    Parallel(TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), TransferFunction(-4*s**2 - 2*s + 4, s - 1, s))
    >>> tf9 * tf10
    Series(TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s))
    >>> tf10 - (tf9 + tf12)
    Parallel(TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), TransferFunction(-s - 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(s - 1, s**2 + 4, s))
    >>> tf10 - (tf9 * tf12)
    Parallel(TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), Series(TransferFunction(-1, 1, s), TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(1 - s, s**2 + 4, s)))
    >>> tf11 * tf10 * tf9
    Series(TransferFunction(4*s**2 + 2*s - 4, s - 1, s), TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s))
    >>> tf9 * tf11 + tf10 * tf12
    Parallel(Series(TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(4*s**2 + 2*s - 4, s - 1, s)), Series(TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), TransferFunction(1 - s, s**2 + 4, s)))
    >>> (tf9 + tf12) * (tf10 + tf11)
    Series(Parallel(TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(1 - s, s**2 + 4, s)), Parallel(TransferFunction(-p + s, s + 3, s), TransferFunction(4*s**2 + 2*s - 4, s - 1, s)))

    These unevaluated ``Series`` or ``Parallel`` objects can convert into the
    resultant transfer function using ``.doit()`` method or by ``.rewrite(TransferFunction)``.

    >>> ((tf9 + tf10) * tf12).doit()
    TransferFunction((1 - s)*((-p + s)*(s**2 + s + 1) + (s + 1)*(s + 3)), (s + 3)*(s**2 + 4)*(s**2 + s + 1), s)
    >>> (tf9 * tf10 - tf11 * tf12).rewrite(TransferFunction)
    TransferFunction(-(1 - s)*(s + 3)*(s**2 + s + 1)*(4*s**2 + 2*s - 4) + (-p + s)*(s - 1)*(s + 1)*(s**2 + 4), (s - 1)*(s + 3)*(s**2 + 4)*(s**2 + s + 1), s)

    Parameters
    ==========

    args : MIMOLinearTimeInvariant
        MIMO systems in a series configuration.
    evaluate : Boolean, Keyword
        When passed ``True``, returns the equivalent

    Raises
    ======

    ValueError
        When no argument is passed.

        ``var`` attribute is not same for every system.

        ``num_outputs`` of the MIMO system is not equal to the

    A class for representing a parallel configuration of MIMO systems.

    Parameters
    ==========

    args : MIMOLinearTimeInvariant
        MIMO Systems in a parallel arrangement.
    evaluate : Boolean, Keyword
        When passed ``True``, returns the equivalent
        ``MIMOParallel(*args).doit()``. Set to ``False`` by default.

    Raises
    ======

    ValueError
        When no argument is passed.

        ``var`` attribute is not same for every system.

        All MIMO systems passed do not have same shape.
    TypeError
        Any of the passed ``*args`` has unsupported type

        A combination of SISO and MIMO systems is
        passed. There should be homogeneity in the
        type of systems passed, MIMO in this case.

class Feedback(SISOLinearTimeInvariant):
    r"""
    A class for representing closed-loop feedback interconnection between two
    SISO input/output systems.

    The first argument, ``sys1``, is the feedforward part of the closed-loop
    system or in simple words, the dynamical model representing the process
    to be controlled. The second argument, ``sys2``, is the feedback system
    and controls the fed back signal to ``sys1``. Both ``sys1`` and ``sys2``
    can either be ``Series`` or ``TransferFunction`` objects.

    Parameters
    ==========

    sys1 : Series, TransferFunction
        The feedforward path system.
    sys2 : Series, TransferFunction, optional
        The feedback path system (often a feedback controller).
        It is the model sitting on the feedback path.

        If not specified explicitly, the sys2 is
        assumed to be unit (1.0) transfer function.
    sign : int, optional
        The sign of feedback. Can either be ``1``
        (for positive feedback) or ``-1`` (for negative feedback).
        Default value is `-1`.

    Raises
    ======

    ValueError
        When ``sys1`` and ``sys2`` are not using the
        same complex variable of the Laplace transform.

        When a combination of ``sys1`` and ``sys2`` yields
        zero denominator.

    TypeError
        When either ``sys1`` or ``sys2`` is not a ``Series`` or a
        ``TransferFunction`` object.

    Examples
    ========

    (TransferFunction(3*s**2 + 7*s - 3, s**2 - 4*s + 2, s), TransferFunction(5*s - 10, s + 7, s), -1)

    You can get the feedforward and feedback path systems by using ``.sys1`` and ``.sys2`` respectively.

    >>> F1.sys1

    >>> F1.sys2
    TransferFunction(5*s - 10, s + 7, s)

    You can get the resultant closed loop transfer function obtained by negative feedback
    interconnection using ``.doit()`` method.

    >>> F1.doit()
    TransferFunction((s + 7)*(s**2 - 4*s + 2)*(3*s**2 + 7*s - 3), ((s + 7)*(s**2 - 4*s + 2) + (5*s - 10)*(3*s**2 + 7*s - 3))*(s**2 - 4*s + 2), s)

    >>> C = TransferFunction(5*s + 10, s + 10, s)
    >>> F2 = Feedback(G*C, TransferFunction(1, 1, s))
    >>> F2.doit()
    TransferFunction((s + 10)*(5*s + 10)*(s**2 + 2*s + 3)*(2*s**2 + 5*s + 1), (s + 10)*((s + 10)*(s**2 + 2*s + 3) + (5*s + 10)*(2*s**2 + 5*s + 1))*(s**2 + 2*s + 3), s)

    To negate a ``Feedback`` object, the ``-`` operator can be prepended:

    >>> -F1

class MIMOFeedback(MIMOLinearTimeInvariant):
    r"""
    A class for representing closed-loop feedback interconnection between two
    MIMO input/output systems.

    Parameters
    ==========

    sys1 : MIMOSeries, TransferFunctionMatrix
        The MIMO system placed on the feedforward path.
    sys2 : MIMOSeries, TransferFunctionMatrix
        The system placed on the feedback path
        (often a feedback controller).
    sign : int, optional
        The sign of feedback. Can either be ``1``
        (for positive feedback) or ``-1`` (for negative feedback).
        Default value is `-1`.

    Raises
    ======

    ValueError
        When ``sys1`` and ``sys2`` are not using the
        same complex variable of the Laplace transform.

        Forward path model should have an equal number of inputs/outputs
        to the feedback path outputs/inputs.

        When product of ``sys1`` and ``sys2`` is not a square matrix.

        When the equivalent MIMO system is not invertible.

    TypeError
        When either ``sys1`` or ``sys2`` is not a ``MIMOSeries`` or a
        ``TransferFunctionMatrix`` object.

class TransferFunctionMatrix(MIMOLinearTimeInvariant):
    r"""
    A class for representing the MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output)
    generalization of the SISO (single-input and single-output) transfer function.

    It is a matrix of transfer functions (``TransferFunction``, SISO-``Series`` or SISO-``Parallel``).
    There is only one argument, ``arg`` which is also the compulsory argument.
    ``arg`` is expected to be strictly of the type list of lists
    which holds the transfer functions or reducible to transfer functions.

    Parameters
    ==========

    arg : Nested ``List`` (strictly).
        Users are expected to input a nested list of ``TransferFunction``, ``Series``
        and/or ``Parallel`` objects.

    Examples
    ========

    .. note::
        ``pprint()`` can be used for better visualization of ``TransferFunctionMatrix`` objects.

    To access the ``TransferFunction`` at any index in the ``TransferFunctionMatrix``, use the index notation.

    >>> tfm_3[1, 0]  # gives the TransferFunction present at 2nd Row and 1st Col. Similar to that in Matrix classes
    TransferFunction(5, s*(s**2 + 2), s)
    >>> tfm_3[0, 0]  # gives the TransferFunction present at 1st Row and 1st Col.
    TransferFunction(5, s, s)
    >>> tfm_3[:, 0]  # gives the first column
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(5, s, s),), (TransferFunction(5, s*(s**2 + 2), s),)))
    >>> pprint(_, use_unicode=False)
    [    5     ]
    [    -     ]

    >>> tfm_3[0, :]  # gives the first row
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(5, s, s), TransferFunction(5*s, s**2 + 2, s)),))
    >>> pprint(_, use_unicode=False)
    [5   5*s  ]
    [-  ------]
    [s   2    ]
    [   s  + 2]{t}

    To negate a transfer function matrix, ``-`` operator can be prepended:

    >>> tfm_4 = TransferFunctionMatrix([[tf_2], [-tf_1], [tf_3]])
    >>> -tfm_4
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(-p**4 + 3*p - 2, p + s, s),), (TransferFunction(a + s, s**2 + s + 1, s),), (TransferFunction(-3, s + 2, s),)))
    >>> tfm_5 = TransferFunctionMatrix([[tf_1, tf_2], [tf_3, -tf_1]])
    >>> -tfm_5
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(-a - s, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(-p**4 + 3*p - 2, p + s, s)), (TransferFunction(-3, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(a + s, s**2 + s + 1, s))))

    ``subs()`` returns the ``TransferFunctionMatrix`` object with the value substituted in the expression. This will not
    mutate your original ``TransferFunctionMatrix``.

    >>> tfm_2.subs(p, 2)  #  substituting p everywhere in tfm_2 with 2.
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(a + s, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(-3, s + 2, s)), (TransferFunction(12, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-a - s, s**2 + s + 1, s)), (TransferFunction(3, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-12, s + 2, s))))
    >>> pprint(_, use_unicode=False)
    [  a + s        -3     ]
    [----------    -----   ]
    [ 2            s + 2   ]
    [s  + s + 1            ]

    [    12        -a - s  ]
    [  -----     ----------]
    [  s + 2      2        ]
    [            s  + s + 1]
    [                      ]
    [    3          -12    ]
    [  -----       -----   ]
    [  s + 2       s + 2   ]{t}
    >>> pprint(tfm_2, use_unicode=False) # State of tfm_2 is unchanged after substitution

    [  2               s + 2     ]
    [ s  + s + 1                 ]
    [                            ]
    [ 4                          ]
    [p  - 3*p + 2      -a - s    ]
    [------------    ----------  ]
    [   p + s         2          ]

    [   -----      --------------]
    [   s + 2          p + s     ]{t}

    ``subs()`` also supports multiple substitutions.

    >>> tfm_2.subs({p: 2, a: 1})  # substituting p with 2 and a with 1
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(s + 1, s**2 + s + 1, s), TransferFunction(-3, s + 2, s)), (TransferFunction(12, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-s - 1, s**2 + s + 1, s)), (TransferFunction(3, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-12, s + 2, s))))
    >>> pprint(_, use_unicode=False)
    [  s + 1        -3     ]
    [----------    -----   ]
    [ 2            s + 2   ]
    [s  + s + 1            ]
    [                      ]
    [    12        -s - 1  ]
    [  -----     ----------]
    [  s + 2      2        ]
    [            s  + s + 1]
    [                      ]
    [    3          -12    ]
    [  -----       -----   ]
    [  s + 2       s + 2   ]{t}

    Users can reduce the ``Series`` and ``Parallel`` elements of the matrix to ``TransferFunction`` by using
    ``doit()``.

    >>> tfm_6 = TransferFunctionMatrix([[Series(tf_3, tf_4), Parallel(tf_3, tf_4)]])
    >>> tfm_6
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((Series(TransferFunction(3, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-a + p, 9*s - 9, s)), Parallel(TransferFunction(3, s + 2, s), TransferFunction(-a + p, 9*s - 9, s))),))
    >>> pprint(tfm_6, use_unicode=False)

    [9*s - 9 s + 2  9*s - 9   s + 2]{t}
    >>> tfm_6.doit()
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((TransferFunction(-3*a + 3*p, (s + 2)*(9*s - 9), s), TransferFunction(27*s + (-a + p)*(s + 2) - 27, (s + 2)*(9*s - 9), s)),))
    >>> pprint(_, use_unicode=False)
    [    -3*a + 3*p     27*s + (-a + p)*(s + 2) - 27]
    [-----------------  ----------------------------]
    [(s + 2)*(9*s - 9)       (s + 2)*(9*s - 9)      ]{t}
    >>> tf_9 = TransferFunction(1, s, s)
    >>> tf_10 = TransferFunction(1, s**2, s)
    >>> tfm_7 = TransferFunctionMatrix([[Series(tf_9, tf_10), tf_9], [tf_10, Parallel(tf_9, tf_10)]])
    >>> tfm_7
    TransferFunctionMatrix(((Series(TransferFunction(1, s, s), TransferFunction(1, s**2, s)), TransferFunction(1, s, s)), (TransferFunction(1, s**2, s), Parallel(TransferFunction(1, s, s), TransferFunction(1, s**2, s)))))

    Addition, subtraction, and multiplication of transfer function matrices can form
    unevaluated ``Series`` or ``Parallel`` objects.

    - For addition and subtraction:
      All the transfer function matrices must have the same shape.

    - For multiplication (C = A * B):
      The number of inputs of the first transfer function matrix (A) must be equal to the
      number of outputs of the second transfer function matrix (B).

    Also, use pretty-printing (``pprint``) to analyse better.

    >>> tfm_8 = TransferFunctionMatrix([[tf_3], [tf_2], [-tf_1]])
