Stability of distributed systems with feedback via Michailov's criterion.
Development of a stability criterion of the Nyquist type from Michailov's criterion for a large class of distributed parameter systems, in particular, for a large class of transmission line systems with feedback. Following a generalization of Michailov's criterion, simplifying assumptions, usually valid in practice, are shown to yield a simplified test for determining whether 'encirclement-counting' constitutes a valid stability test. The results are reformulated for an open-loop analysis. Three examples show various aspects of the theoretical analysis.
