Tellegen's Theorem - Definitions

Definitions

We need to introduce a few necessary network definitions to provide a compact proof.

Incidence matrix: The matrix is called node-to-branch incidence matrix for the matrix elements being


a_{ij}= \begin{cases}
1, & \text{if flow } j \text{ leaves node } i \\
-1, & \text{if flow } j \text{ enters node } i \\
0, & \text{if flow } j \text{ is not incident with node } i
\end{cases}

A reference or datum node is introduced to represent the environment and connected to all dynamic nodes and terminals. The matrix, where the row that contains the elements of the reference node is eliminated, is called reduced incidence matrix.

The conservation laws (KCL) in vector-matrix form:

The uniqueness condition for the potentials (KVL) in vector-matrix form:

where are the absolute potentials at the nodes to the reference node .

Famous quotes containing the word definitions:

    Lord Byron is an exceedingly interesting person, and as such is it not to be regretted that he is a slave to the vilest and most vulgar prejudices, and as mad as the winds?
    There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
