In graph theory, a flow graph is a form of digraph associated with a set of linear algebraic or differential equations.
Description
Abrahams and Coverley write:
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 [related to the equations] to be obtained.
