Temporal analysis - Part 2

Under the heading Temporal Analysis, we examine the main properties of systems in their temporal aspects, i.e. their behavior as a function of the independent variable called time t. This analysis is the subject of two dossiers [S7 150] Part 1 and [S7 151] Part 2, in which continuous, linear and permanent Markovian systems and their extensions to certain non-Markovian, non-linear or evolutionary systems are presented. Generally, we restrict our study to scalar systems, but whenever we can, we will provide the corresponding matrix systems, if these do not turn out to be much more complicated than the former. Finally, we have tried to illustrate each mathematical notion with practical applications taken from the world of engineering.
