1. Lumped models

Type of differential equations Example
Lumped systems Ordinary R-L-C circuits
Distributed systems Partial Electromagnetic fields

In a ‘lumped’ model, the system characteristics are lumped into idealized discrete components with no (or negligible) spatial extent.

The only differentiation is with respect to time.

Equations converted from TEX to HTML by TTH. I have seen the equations show up properly under Windows using Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 1.0, Netscape 4 & 7, and IE 5 & 6. They do not show up properly for me under Windows using Netscape 6.2, nor under GNU/Linux using Mozilla 1.0.
