BASHKOW'S A MATRIX FOR ACTIVE R,L,C, NETWORKS

In 1957 Bashkow described a new method of networkanalysis. According to this method if voltages across capacitances and currents through in-ductances are used as dependent variables, a set of first order differential equations is obtainedas, y = A y + F in which y is the column matrixof dependent variables and F represents thesources. Bryant later obtained an explicit form of A matrix for R, L, C, networks. There is a discussion of the active R, L, C case such that the order of complexity of the network is equalto the number of reactive elements in thenetwork. (Author)
