Recent advances in the study of network and system sensitivity

In this paper, an attempt was made to put together major results of sensitivity theory as they relate to network and systems analysis. This exposition is theoritical and it is hoped that it will stir some interest among engineers to try to apply these results to actual system designs. Some applications of this theory to several systems studies such as linear, non-linear, information management, economic, transportion and power systems can be found in [38].
