In a previous paper by this author, the problem of achieving arbitrary reliability for combinatorial nets from arbitrarily unreliable elements was reduced to the study of convergence properties of an associated polynomial system. In this paper simple criteria which specify the convergence of such a system to a nodal fixed point are obtained from known results in matrix theory. (Convergence to a nodal point implies that the corresponding net approaches reliability arbitrarily near 1 for a particular function.) Theorems are also given which show that it is possible to obtain from a single system converging to a nodal fixed point, many systems having this property.
