SIGNAL-FLOW GRAPH MODELS

Signal-flow graphs are diagrams that include nodes that are connected to several branches, which are a graphical representation of linear system For complex systems, block diagram simplification is not easy

SIGNAL-FLOW DIAGRAM

SIGNAL-FLOW DIAGRAM METHOD

Cramers rule

SIGNAL-FLOW METHOD

SIGNAL-FLOW MODEL

Gain of k-th path from variable x(i) to variable x(j)

Determinant of the graph Cofactor of the path P(I, j, k)
