For a give continuous closed path in the s plane
that does not go through any singular points,
there corresponds a closed curve in the F(s)
plane.

Mapping Theorem:
Let F(s) be a ratio of two polynomials in s. let P be
the number of poles and Z be the number of zeros of
F(s) that lie inside some closed contour in the s
plane, with multiplicity of poles and zeros accounted
for. Let the contour be such that it does not pass
through any poles or zeros of F(s). This closed
contour in the s plane is then mapped in to the F(s)
plane as a closed curve. The total number N of
clockwise encirclement 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.(Note that by this mapping theorem, the number of
zeros and of poles can’t be found-only their
4 difference.)
Application of mapping theorem to stability
analysis
Closed loop TF:
C ( s) G( s)
R( s ) 1 G ( s ) H ( s)
G (s) G ( s)q( s)
lim 0 or constant
s 1 G ( s ) H ( s ) q(s) p(s)
Degree of P(s) is equal or greater than q(s).
lim G ( s ) H ( s ) 0 or constant
s
Thus,
lim1 G ( s) H ( s ) constant

The Contour:(Nyquist path)
• Entire jω axis(ω=-∞to ∞)
•Semi-circular path of infinite radius
in RHP.
•Clockwise path direction

Mapping theorem for the Nyquist path says that
Z=P+N
Where
Z&P: Number of RHP zeros and poles
of F(s),respectively.
N: Number of clockwise
encirclements of the origin of
F(s) plane.

Nyquist stability criterion [G(s)H(s) has neither poles or
zeros on the jω axis]
If the open-loop TF G(s)H(s) has K poles in the RHP
and lim G(s) H (s) constant, then for stability, the

The plot doesn’t encircle the -1+j0 point and G(s)H(s)
doesn’t have open-loop poles on RHP.
1+G(s)H(s) doesn’t have zero in the RHP
Therefore, the system is stable
