A Recursive Algorithm for the Reduction of Block Diagrams

A recursive algorithm to compute input-output relationships in a network of rational transfer functions (a block diagram) is derived. Initially all transfer functions are disconnected. For each step in the algorithm, a new transfer function in the network is connected to the system. One application...
