Mapping contours
For a given continuous closed path in the s-plane, which does not go through
any singular points, there corresponds a closed curve in the F(s) plane.
Clockwise direction for mapping the points on contour A, contour B
maps in a clockwise direction if F(s) has just zeros or has just poles that
are not encircled by the contour.
If the contour in the s plane encloses the pole of F(s), there is one
encirclement of the origin of the F(s) plane by the locus of F(s) in the
counterclockwise direction.
If the contour in the s plane encloses the zero of F(s), there is one
encirclement of the origin of the F(s) plane by the locus of F(s) in the
clockwise direction.
If the contour in the s plane encloses both the zero and the pole or if the
contour encloses neither the zero nor the pole, then there is no
encirclement of the origin of the F(s) plane by the locus of F(s).
The total number N of clockwise encirclements of the origin of the F(s)
plane, as a representative point s traces out the entire contour in the
clockwise direction, is equal to Z-P.
