5984:"Causal" is clearly a distracting substitute for "linear, time invariant" to non-engineers. Signal flow graph analysis assumes that the time domain response and spectral domain response of the system transfer function are freely convertible. That requires the Laplace transform of the system transfer function to be valid, and therefore requires that the system's transfer function is linear (i.e. independent of amplitude) and time invariant (i.e. the same at all times). An analysis of a time varying, non-linear, or unstable system may not be valid, and usually isn't in proportion to the extent that it exhibits those traits. For example, a BJT amplifier with a particular feedback network may behave as indicated by signal flow graph analysis for small signals but at some sufficiently large signal level increased Miller effect delay may increase its phase delay enough to cause the amplifier's feedback to become reinforcing and it becomes a bistable, a square wave oscillator. When operating as a bistable it no longer exhibits any small signal gain and its output is no longer related to the input. Signal flow graph analysis won't be able to model the behavior of such a system, even though it's causal in the usual sense. PolychromePlatypus 00:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC) 705:
or to the application of flame decals) Conversely altering the forward ground velocity of the vehicle by any available means has a direct and proportional effect on the position of the speedometer's indicator needle. (note that because a modern instrument cluster doesn't have a speedometer the system also has to be powered to permit the microprocessor controlled stepper motor with gear reduction to simulates a speedometer) ... also there is no requirement that a signal flow graph be expressed in a canonical form. A signal flow graph can often be reduced Isee Mason, 1953) and sometimes its pleasant not to cover the page with boxes and arrows, but the validity of the analysis doesn't depend on reducing it.PolychromePlatypus 20:06, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Karnopp mean by "Some perfectly reasonable physical models simply will not compute because of causal problems." Probably what I haven't clearly expressed is that I'm asking what the section means and expressing what the section seems to mean to me which is this: there are implementation problems that arise when attempting to use SFG's to represent systems with many acausal relationships. Given the age of many of these sources and the advance of computers and computer science, the criticisms may be insignificant. We have SPICE for analysis of circuits and all their acausal relationships. Is it meaningful to criticize a SFG because it is not very convenient for solving circuits? This is what the section seems to be saying to me.

equations are used to define the variable written on the left-hand side.” This quote is, of course, out of context. Its meaning is unclear without access to the contextual document. It is incumbent on the person contributing a quote to explain its meaning. Robichaud seems to be saying that if there is a SFG in which node A has an arrow to node B and A is to the left of B then a SFG in which node A has an arrow to node B and A is to the right of B is a different SFG. Or is he saying that a system of simultaneous equations in one order is different from the same equations written in a different order? Either way, if that is what he is saying, it’s specious. He must have meant something else, but what is it?
3918: 395: 4973: 5712:"An alternate approach to find the relationships among the system variables of a complicated network or system is the signal flow graph approach by SJ Mason. A signal-flow graph is a diagram which represents a set of simultaneous linear algebraic equations. It consists of a network in which nodes are connected by directed branches. Each node represents a system variable, and each branch connected between two nodes acts as a signal multiplier. A signal flow graph contains, essentially, the same information as a block-diagram representation...(p. 757) 4210:. We need the same thing here that we need on the statement about the mapping of SFG equations in standard form to SFG topology. We need a reliable source that says unambiguously that all SFG's can be solved by elementary transformations and unambiguously what those transformations are. I doubt that such a reference exists because Mason and Robichaud say you cannot reduce the index with elementary operations (Mason calls them explicit transformations). Robichau expressly distinguishes between elementary transformations and elimination of a loop. 5497:
best one. Your view might be that some approaches based on personal intuitions about causality will lead one to the most useful forms quickly. That, of course, depends upon the efficacy of those particular intuitions. Undoubtedly, some engineers will grasp key relationships intuitively, and get to a valuable SFG in a hurry, whether that intuition involves causal understandings or something else. Is it worthwhile to suggest "causality" has some role in arriving at a useful SFG? Not unless there are some pointers that generally are accepted.

my assessment of sources that digraphs include both SFG and flow graphs, but also other types of graphs. Specifically, digraphs include graphs that are not necessarily connected to matrices or linear equations (although that possibility might exist), while the SFG and the flow graph are both required to be so-connected. As for the connection between flow graphs and the SFG, there is some confusion in the literature. The predominant usage is that SFG ≡ Mason graph, while there is one set of authors that take flow graph ≡

current forced through a resister causes a voltage across that resister. A voltage held across a resister causes a current through the resister. More commonly, in a circuit, neither causes the other, but they are related by ohms law. Whatever causes the voltage and current causes them in such a way that ohms law is not violated. In this case, ohm's law is an acausal relationship in which the neither voltage nor current strictly causes the other. SFG's can represent acausal relationships in both senses.

equations to treat more general coonections between nodes. That way the reader who is starting out can get their feet under them with the linear case, and for those few that wish the more general approach, well, they can be guided to build upon the linear case. I am afraid that beginning with the general case will prove too abstract for the novice and they will find such a beginning abstruse, an issue already raised even before this added abstraction.
150: 1671: 84: 1133:"A signal flow graph is a network of nodes (or points) interconnected by directed branches, representing a set of linear algebraic equations. The nodes in a flow graph are used to represent the variables, or parameters, and the connecting branches represent the coefficients relating these variables to one another. The flow graph is associated with a number of simple rules which enable every possible solution to be obtained." 4771: 4763: 5068:
constructed by Kou’s rules do not guarantee causal relationships. SFGs force non-causal relationships into quasi-causal forms that are complicated. The only reason to force these non-causal relationships into SFG form is because the system is made up of mostly causal relationships. The telescope servo illustrates this point. It is made up of mostly causal relationships, except the relationship between V

always be drawn in the top row and the current nodes in the bottom row of the graph. In order to facilitate the interconnection of these graphs, it will be convenient to show explicitly the source and sink nodes. The source nodes will be drawn as black half-circles and the sink nodes as white half-circles. These flow graphs are in the form of quadri-poles and are therefore called quadripole flow graphs.
4866:. I suggest we remove the whole philosophy discussion, and replace it by the simple statement that sfgs do not contain causal information, but can under some circumstances be drawn in a way such that the way they are drawn does convey it. This is then not a mathematical property of the graph, but a meta-property of the way to draw the equations system. I think it is sufficient to cite Mason56 on this. 5158:? It is hardly surprising that the acausal nature of an SFG results in a noncausal formulation of system behavior. However, as a counterpoint, Newton's laws are causal and govern many systems. Their causality does not preclude a formulation in terms of ordinary algebraic equations where causality doesn't show up. In fact, numerical algorithms for solving most problems end up in matrix form. 4169:, but correspond to different SFGs, isn't it obvious that these SFGs are related, and moreover, that a transformation process exists that will map one SFG into the other? in fact, isn't the algebraic translation mapping one set of equations into an equivalent set one procedure used to justify valid transformations of SFGs, and the source of many of these allowed graph transformations? 5602: 22: 5511:.) However (and irrelevant here, I surmise), this idea has limited value today in view of the known formulations based upon minimizing functions of system variables and avoiding the concepts of past, present, and future and what exactly is an 'event'. (Each theory identifies its own set of 'events' it wants to deal with, and doesn't try to include everything.) 5508: 5092:. The SFG is made up of mostly unidirectional components such as amplifiers and sensors, but it has a little bit of circuitry involving the motor winding, its resistance and the current sense resistance. The reason to represent the circuitry as a SFG is because the SFG is so darn useful representing the rest of the system. 1996:, saying "In accounting for branch directions it is necessary to take an entirely different line of approach from that adopted in electrical network topology." However, he doesn't explicitly state the reason why directionality is significant, and one has to deduce that it is by looking at how he uses the signal flow graph. 959: 5727:"A signal-flow graph is a diagram consisting of nodes that are connected by directed branches and is a graphical representation of a set of linear relations...The flow graph is simply a pictorial method of writing a system of algebraic equations so as to indicate the interdependence of the variables."

produced at the terminals of the resistor is a function of the source's current signal. Thus, there is no SFG model that can accommodate both usages of the same resistor (connected to a current source or connected to a voltage source). On the other hand, other modeling notations can capture an acausal equation such as
2126: 358:. This would be the case where the ports were driven by ideal voltage sources which are considered the inputs and the currents sourced by those ideal voltage sources are the outpurts. Usually, a two port is part of a circuit and not a stand alone circuit. I think I could provide a better example. Maybe his weekend. 1141:, it lies in a connection to a set of linear algebraic equations. Because of this generality, although the adjective 'signal' has crept into this definition, it is best omitted to allow that "flow graph" has a more general definition than the term "signal flow graph". That choice agrees with the common use of the term 1205: 4043: 5781: 1608: 1219: 1016: 4225:
this division. In any event quarreling over whether a transformation is elementary or not seems pointless. The real issue is how SFGs can aid in understanding the equations and presumably the simpler the SFG the clearer this understanding will be, so we want to arrive systematically at the simple forms.

We cannot conclude whether it is the current flowing through a resistor that causes a voltage drop, or whether it is the difference in potentials at the two ends of the resistor that cause current to

The connection of Mason to cause and effect is open to discussion, but this entire paper is about the connections of flow graphs to equations, so the physical "cause and effect" connection seems to me to be more or less intended as an example of a construction process that leads to certain equations,

This section presents the view that SFGs are somehow tied to an interpretation using causality. These views are erroneous, at least for the SFG that is simply an expression of a system of algebraic equations. If the content of this subsection is to be retained it should be placed as a controversial

the space devoted to nonlinear versions should be small, with the focus on the linear case.

This note probably is clear to Pierre, but as non-expert in this area, I find it confusing rather than helpful. It seems to say that the goal of solving a set of equations is aided by the use of signal-flow graphs, but that they introduce causality unnecessarily. That seems to suggest that a a simple

Pierre: Some clarification is needed. The first line of the article seems to say that signal-flow graphs are the same thing as Mason graphs, and the quote from Mason's paper in the history section appears to suggest that Mason thought the graphs he was proposing are what he called signal-flow graphs.

The reason that a 2 port's admittance parameters are an unrevealing example is because it should have been transformed to the equivalent scattering parameters. See Mason's 1953 paper, fig 35 page 1196. IIRC a lossless transmission line can't be represented using an admittance matrix, although there's

This seems to be a lot of algebra signifying nothing. At best it shows that you can change the weights on some of the branches and still have the same overall gain. The relationship of the SFG to anything is not defined. Even if you can represent asymptotic gain by a SFG, there is no useful reason

The remark that "you can't make up a transformation rule just because it can be proved mathematically" makes no sense to me. If a rule is " proved" it isn't "made up".

The proposal is to add this subsection.

4. At the moment, the section on causality is primarily an attempt to correct misinformation about SFGs that they are somehow less useful because they don't express causality according to the "bond graph" people, or SFGs are limited because they are restricted to constructions based upon causality,
4944:
It is simpler than that. Mason and others construct SFGs using intuition about the systems they are interested in. So a node 'broadcasts' its output along emanating branches, and these signals are received by other nodes (cause a reaction there). The emanating node causes an effect at the receiving
4657:
Brews, I have no objection to a clear statement; I just don't think it needs a section. Pierre, I don't see anything that could be criticized. I think bringing in bond graphs is extraneous to this article, but a single sentence would be sufficient to say something like "The SFG may represent both

Mason introduced several types of flow graphs in his papers. Most important is the notion of a linear flow graph. He often uses the term Flow Graph (unqualified). It seems that "Mason Flow Graph" is a misnomer, and the qualifier "Mason" should be reserved for his method for solving the gain of a

Let's keep in mind that this article's title is SFG, not linear SFG. I could support a split to a separate article "Linear SFG" if useful, but the SFG article should be kept broad in scope. I suggest waiting until this article has more materials in it (full example, formal methods, simulation).

Folks, these comments, whatever their merit, do not bear on the issue of topology and one-to-one mapping between SFG topology and the topology of a set of equations. For that matter, does any source suggest that 'topology' is a property of an equation set? Does any source say all of the many SFGs

I'm not sure what Pierre means by causality but I also see two uses. In one case it means that effects never precede their cause. In this sense, all the voltages and currents in a circuit are caused by the inputs. The other usage is cause and effect. A force on a mass causes acceleration. A

I think that the solution for this article is to declare the mish mash out of scope for this article with a note at the top that says this article is about xxx. Where xxx might be "signal flow graphs as described by Mason in 1953." Add a few lines about non-linearity and time dependent and then

The assertion of the text that needs a source for support is equivalent to: "Every SFG that leads to a particular equation set shares the same topology". Or something equivalent. Then the wording of the claims in the text needs adjustment so that it unambiguously states what the source supports.
5832:
It's clear that Mason and Kuo did not use the term "computational causality" as it had not been coined when their work was written, but it seems their notion of causality fits "computational causality" inasmuch as the signal-flow graph does have a connection to this form of causality but has no

So the SFG identifies "causes" (the "fundamental" variables of a particular strategy) without implying any physical causation. As a clarification intended for Constant, it can be said that the processing at a node that sums various incident branches is "caused" by those inputs, which is an

1326:
I'm not sure what the proposal is. It is not surprising at a flow graph and a di-graph mean the same thing. For me, a signal flow graph is a di-graph for which Mason's gain formula gives the correct results. If there was no MGF then the SFG would not be of interest to control engineers.
955: 4614:
I think the section on causality can be reduced to a couple of sentences in the introduction. Since a system of simultaneous linear equations can be made equivalent to a SFG, the SFG inherets the ability of linear equations to represent both causal and acausal; the is no controversy.

Constant: I am with Pierre on this one for a different reason. That reason is that Kuo (a very influential text), Mason himself, Paynter, and Willems stress causality, which means confusion reigns without a clear disclaimer that SFG has no necessary connection to causality.

But you have now introduced a sub-section called 'Mason signal-flow graphs' under the main header 'Types of signal-flow graphs' suggesting that Mason graphs are a subset of signal flow graphs. Perhaps you could clear up this apparent conflict, and provide requisite sources?

I have removed this section which appears misleading because of the headers attached to it that suggest a Mason graph and a signal-flow graph can be different things, and because the quote adds nothing new to the content of the article. The source already is cited earlier.

Kou is unambiguous that the arrows in a signal flow graph represent cause and effect. A directed graph could represent acausal relationships, but it would not be a SFG. For example, in the documentation C++, some authors use the notation A→B to mean A is the child of B.
