CAUSALITY, PHYSICAL RELIZABILITY, AND STABILITY

Abstract

Conceptual similarities and differences between causalit , physical realizabilit and stability are discussed in an effort to coordinate some parallel and relevant developments in physics, engineering, and mathematics. The concept of causality emerges as the most fundamental of the three. Special attention was given to limiting cases of lossless or almost lossless systems. Mathematical singularities arising in these limiting cases are treated in terms of the theory of generalized functions an regular sequences. T e p ase-gain description systems was modifie to match the symmetry and uniqueness of the more customary 'im ittance' description. (Author)
