function [k, p, e] = lqr (a, b, q, r, zz)

# Usage: [k, p, e] = lqr (A, B, Q, R {,Z})
#
# Linear quadratic regulator design for the continuous time system
#
#   dx/dt = A x + B u
#
# to minimize the cost functional
#
#  J = int_0^\infty{ x' Q x + u' R u } 			Z omitted
#
# or
#
#  J = int_0^\infty{ x' Q x + u' R u +2 x' Z u}		Z included
#
# Returns:
#
#   k = state feedback gain, (A - B K) is stable
#   p = solution of algebraic Riccati equation
#   e = closed loop poles of (A - B K)
