Abstract

There are two basic structures in network analysis that are the basis for studying general network structures, series and parallel. For the former the divisions of a system are arranged in sequence, one after another, in that the outputs of one division are the inputs of the next. In general, a division can start its operation only after its preceding divisions have finished their work. For the latter, all divisions of a system appear in parallel, in that every division operates independently at the same time, without affecting each other. The preceding chapter introduced the series structure, and this chapter will discuss the parallel structure.
