Equilibrium and duality in electromagnetic field problems

Electromagnetic fields can be treated as systems in which the field equations are the equations of equilibrium. This formulation draws the subject into the unified approach of mechanics. Close analogies to potential and kinetic energy exist and these can be used to provide double bounds to the electromagnetic energy.     

A new active R bandpass filter

A new active R filter which realizes a second order bandpass transfer function is given. The network employs only resistors and two operational amplifiers. Sensitivities to all passive and active circuit components are very low. Design equations are given and experimental results are also included.     

The DT-Polynomial Approach to Discrete Time-Varying Network Flow Problems

This paper introduces a polynomial operator called the DT-polynomial as a novel approach to network flow problems. The class of networks dealt with is time-varying in the sense that the capacity, cost, and travel-time of each edge may vary in discrete time. The Dt-polynomial is a polynomial in two operators, D (delay) and T (time), which is used for describing the time-varying transmission characteristics. The paper starts with the mathematics involving the DT-polynomials. A new shortest arrival route algorithm is presented, and its computational complexity is found to be favorable in comparison with others such as Dijkstra's method and the potential method derived from Ford-Fulkerson's technique. Furthermore, a dynamic flow problem is formulated and analyzed in terms of DT-polynomials, and a latest-departure earliest-arrival schedule is given. Finally, a modified DT-polynomial is applied to digital filter networks.
