Abstract :
A Nyquist graphical stability criterion is developed for distributed parameter, possible unstable, single-loop systems. Practical conditions are presented for existence, uniqueness, causality, and asymptotic or exponential stability of the closed-loop impulse response. The hypotheses are given for the transfer function only and do not require any knowledge of its time-domain impulse response
