Compute b(s) and a(s) from partial fraction expansion: r,p,k
If M = len(b) and N = len(a)
b(s) b[0] x**(M-1) + b[1] x**(M-2) + ... + b[M-1]
a(s) a[0] x**(N-1) + a[1] x**(N-2) + ... + a[N-1]
r[0] r[1] r[-1]
If there are any repeated roots (closer than tol), then the partial fraction expansion has terms like
r[i] r[i+1] r[i+n-1]——– + ———– + ... + ———– (s-p[i]) (s-p[i])**2 (s-p[i])**n
