Formula
The gain formula is as follows:
where:
- Δ = the determinant of the graph.
- yin = input-node variable
- yout = output-node variable
- G = complete gain between yin and yout
- N = total number of forward paths between yin and yout
- Gk = gain of the kth forward path between yin and yout
- Li = loop gain of each closed loop in the system
- LiLj = product of the loop gains of any two non-touching loops (no common nodes)
- LiLjLk = product of the loop gains of any three pairwise nontouching loops
- Δk = the cofactor value of Δ for the kth forward path, with the loops touching the kth forward path removed. *

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
