The results are based on a graphical Nyquist type test which depends only on the frequency responses of an individual system and its nearest neighbours. If every system in the network satisfies such a condition, the network is guaranteed to be stable. The results are suitable for a broad class of networks, allowing arbitrary interconnection asymmetries and heterogeneous multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems. %ENDSECTION{"abstract"}% <!-- You can add any further information of interest here -->
