# Responses to a unit step change in the reference signal for different
# values of the design parameters \omega_c and \zeta_c. The left column

# right figure column responses for \omega_c = 2 and \zeta_c = 0.5, 0.707,
# and 1. The process parameters are a = b = 1. The initial value of the
# control signal is kp.
