Theory of sensitivity of network: a tutorial

The authors review several hundred pertinent papers and books which are categorized in 14 different areas of active research in network sensitivity theory. The papers prior to 1978 are collected from a number of journals and conference proceedings around the world and those which appeared in 1978-88 are collected mainly from the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems. The topics discussed include general network sensitivity, tolerances or sensitivity in the large of a network, the sensitivity model of a circuit, Vratsano's theorem, network synthesis with minimum or prescribed sensitivity measure, and sensitivity analysis and synthesis in active networks.<
