where

N = Total number of forward paths

Pi = Gain of ith forward path

∆ = 1 – (Σ all individual feedback loop gain including self loops)

       + (Σ gain product of all possible combinations of two non-touching loops)

       – (Σ gain product of all possible combination of three non-touching loops)
