I'm not really an expert on control theory and so it makes no sense for 
me to be your mentor. I hope one of them is reading this thread, but it 
I take the opportunity of changing the title in the hope you get a 
better response. You might also be able to track the control system 
toolbox guru's of octave with the mailing list search engine. 
Unfortunately the official one is out of order at the moment, but you 
can use the one on gmane at one of

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.general
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.maintainers

etc. Use the search box at the box of the page with something like 
"control" as the keyword should identify those interested in the control 
system toolbox..

Best of Luck
