Description

The code above is a LaTeX document that generates a block diagram using the TikZ package. It defines a series of blocks and components, including input, adders, and feedback loops, and connects them using arrows and lines. The diagram represents a system with multiple blocks labeled as $G\_1$ , $\frac{G\_2}{1+G\_2H\_2}$ , $1+\frac{H\_1}{G\_2}$ , and $G\_3$ , and a feedback loop with a block labeled as $H\_3$ . The diagram also includes labels and annotations for the various components and connections, such as $R(s)$ for the input and $C(s)$ for the output. The code also defines some custom styles and commands for drawing the blocks and connecting them in a visually pleasing manner.
