Function File: k = acker (A, b, p)

Calculates the state feedback matrix of a completely controllable SISO system using Ackermann’s formula

Given the state-space system $$ \dot x = Ax + bu $$

and the desired eigenvalues of the closed loop in the vector p, the state feedback vector k is calculated in the form

$$ k = (k_1 k_2 ... k_n) $$

such that the closed loop system matrix

$$ A - b\,k $$

has the eigenvalues given in p.
