Symbols used in Signal-Flow Graph only utilize two graphical symbols for
describing the relationship between system variables。
。
Loop a closed path that originates and terminates on the same node, and
along the path no node is met twice.
Loop gain the product of all branch gains along the loop.
Touching loops more than one loops sharing one or more common nodes.
Non-touching loops — more than one loops they do not have a common
node.

pk → k-th forward path gain
∆ k → cofactor of pk : make the branch gains, which
touch the k-th forward path, are zero in ∆.
∑ L1 → sum of all different loop gains.
∑ L2 → sum of the gain products of all combination of
2 non-touching loops.
∑ L3 → sum of th e gain products of all combination of
3 non-touching loops.
