ABSTRACT
A deterministic dynamical system may have a continuous or discrete state space and a continuoustime or discrete-time dynamic.
A lumped
circuit containing resistive elements (resistors, voltage and current sources) and energystorage elements (capacitors and/or inductors) may be modeled as a continuous-time deterministic dynamical system in
. The evolution of the state of the circuit is described by a system of ordinary differential equations called state equations.
