In Matlab, the transfer function is specified as follows: s=tf('s'); % define Laplace variable sysH-0.001/(s^2+0.05*s); % form transfer function The pole-zero description is computed using the following Matlab commands: p=pole(sysH); % compute poles [z,k]-zero(sysH); % compute zeros and transfer function gain and would result in the transfer function in factored form, where z = [], p= [0 -0.05]', and k = 0.001.
