Root Locus
Root locus analysis is a graphical method for examining how the roots of a system change with variation of a certain system parameter, commonly a gain within a feedback system. This is a technique used in the field of control systems developed by Walter R. Evans which can determine stability of the system. The root locus plots the poles of the closed loop transfer function as a function of a gain parameter.

Famous quotes containing the words root and/or locus:

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Seeing the locus of joy as the gate

—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
