We consider a long but finite (ladder) circuit with alternating connections of resistors in series and parallel and derive an explicit expression for its equivalent resistance as a function of the number of repeating blocks, $R_{\rm…
When Fourier series are employed to solve partial differential equations, low-pass filters can be used to regularize divergent series that may appear. In this paper we show that the linear low-pass filters defined in a previous paper can be…
Here we consider system of infinite number of particles where any particle cannot escape to infinity. We define what means escape of energy to infinity and apply this notion to the case when constant force provides energy to one of the…
When Fourier series are used for applications in physics, involving partial differential equations, sometimes the process of resolution results in divergent series for some quantities. In this paper we argue that the use of linear low-pass…
Recursive filters are treated as linear time-invariant (LTI) systems but they are not: uninitialised, they have an infinite number of outputs for any given input, while if initialised, they are not time-invariant. This short tutorial…
In this note we study the convergence of recursively defined infinite series. We explore the role of the derivative of the defining function at the origin (if it exists), and develop a comparison test for such series which can be used even…
In this paper we introduce the notion of nonlinear resistance forms. We define a $1$-parameter family of nonlinear resistance metrics and show their additivity over serial circuits. Moreover, we prove that resistance forms and…
Negative feedback is a powerful approach capable of improving several aspects of a system. In linear electronics, it has been critical for allowing invariance to device properties. Negative feedback is also known to enhance linearity in…
Phase response functions are the central tool in the mathematical analysis of pulse-coupled oscillators. When an oscillator receives a brief input pulse, the phase response function specifies how its phase shifts as a function of the phase…
It is difficult to derive the solid--fluid transition from microscopic models. We introduce particle systems whose potentials do not decay with distance and calculate their partition function exactly using a method similar to that for…
In this paper, we propose a definition of phase for a class of stable nonlinear systems called semi-sectorial systems, from an input-output perspective. The definition involves the Hilbert transform as a critical instrument to complexify…
In Feynman's lectures there is a remark about the limiting value of the impedance of an n-section ladder consisting of purely reactive elements (capacitances and inductances). The remark is that this limiting impedance…
A design methodology and synthesis equations are described for lumped-element filter prototypes having low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or band-stop characteristics with theoretically perfect input- and output-match at all frequencies. Such…
We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.
Non-interference, in transitive or intransitive form, is defined here over unbounded (Place/Transition) Petri nets. The definitions are adaptations of similar, well-accepted definitions introduced earlier in the framework of labelled…
We give a potential alternative definition of a weak infinite dimensional category, in an unbiased fashion, using one one dimensional quiver with composition and extra structure.
When a proposition has no proof in an inference system, it is sometimes useful to build a counter-proof explaining, step by step, the reason of this non-provability. In general, this counter-proof is a (possibly) infinite co-inductive proof…
There are infinite processes (matrix products, continued fractions, $(r,s)$-matrix continued fractions, recurrence sequences) which, under certain circumstances, do not converge but instead diverge in a very predictable way. We give a…
Like the inertia of a physical body describes its tendency to resist changes of its state of motion, inertia of an oscillator describes its tendency to resist changes of its frequency. Here we show that finite inertia of individual…
We introduce a transformation for converting a series in a parameter, \lambda, to a series in the inverse of the parameter \lambda^{-1}. By applying the transform on simple examples, it becomes apparent that there exist relations between…
