Recent advances in the study of network and system sensitivity (Q801861)

An attempt is made to put together major results of sensitivity theory as they relate to network and systems analysis. This exposition is theoretical and it is hoped that it will stir some interest among engineers to try to apply these resuls to actual system designs. This work is divided into two major parts. The first part introduces the notion of sensitivity as it is related to circuit design and the second part analyzes systems from the point of view of sensitivity.
