A linear system is a mathematical model of a system based on the use of a linear operator. A system is linear if and only if it satisfies the superposition principle, or equivalently both the additivity and homogeneity properties, without restrictions.

Transfer function analisis

You seem as though you're under the misconception that $s$ is always an imaginary variable. This is not so; from a sophisticated viewpoint, most of the theoretical results about Laplace transforms com …

Can the Kramers–Kronig relation be used to correct transfer function measurements?

I can think of a method that follows from a numerical Hilbert transformer I came up with for estimating the phase of Raman gains, a problem which is very like many handled in spectroscopy. I've never …

Is squared motor gearbox ratio proportional to inertia ratio?

Gearboxes belong to a class of linear system that conserves a product of observable quantities by dint of the principle of conservation of energy. For a gearbox, the product $\tau \omega$, where $\tau …

Delta to Star/Y Conversions and vice versa in Electric Ciruits

The concept is a special case of a more general topological notion of graph theoretic duality: see the Wikipedia page for Dual Graph. Graph theoretic duality is "compatible" with the Kirchoff voltag …

"Complex Variables Method" in Diff. Eq. - Justification and physical meaning?

When one uses complex variables in this way one never multiplies two variables because the whole system is linear: if $z$ is the oscillating variable and you choose to represent it by a complex number …

Why do phasors add like vectors?

Simply because if: $$R\,\cos(-\omega\,t+\theta) = A \cos(\omega\,t) + B\,\sin(\omega\,t)\tag{1}$$ then: $$R\,\cos\theta = A\tag{2}$$ $$R\, \sin\theta = B\tag{3}$$ So that the entity $R\angle\theta …
