Abstract :
The paper presents the direct application of the signal flow graphs (SFG) in calculation of higher order derivatives (sensitivities) of the linear network functions. It is based on the adjoint networks, represented by SFG. Thanks to the application of SFG we can calculate the exact value of any order derivative of the output variables without knowing their solutions in explicit form. Moreover the presented approach greatly reduces the complexity of calculations limiting the analysis to two graph structures only.
