Topological properties of sequential network analysis

Sequential network analysis is a method of analyzing a network by choosing some independent variables among the unknown variables in the network, expressing the remaining unknown variables sequentially in terms of the independent variable by applying KCL and KVL, and then solving the constraint equations obtained as the result of the sequential process to determine the independent variables. This paper deals with the topological properties of a sequential analysis formulated for an active network. The network topology is represented by current‐ and voltage‐graphs. The set of edges whose unknown variables are chosen as independent variables is called the independent‐edge set (denoted by E
