<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>z^-1 is the value of the system 1 sampling
period in the past. But as sampling is discrete, does it make sense to
reference a value that is between 2 samples, but that does not exist in your
model, since, by definition, it is not sampled ?<br>
