Matlab Demos:

Plot the closed-loop time response for a given open-loop transfer function

Plot the root-locus and analyse the closed-loop step response

Analyse the closed-loop response using the open-loop bode plot

Lead compensator:lead_c.m and Lag compensator: lag_c.m
(see also the diary files lead_c.out and lag_c.out) for Ex. 9.1 and 9.2 respectively.
