Everything about Distributed Parameter Systems totally explained

A distributed parameter system (as opposed to a lumped parameter system) is a system whose state space is infinite-dimensional. A body whose state is heterogeneous has a distributed parameter. It is usually described by partial differential equations.
   An example of a distributed parameter system is a bar on the real line that extends from the origin to the point 1 and whose temperature (state) is given by the function T, where T(x) is the temperature at the point x and x belongs to the interval [0,1]. The (infinite-dimensional) state-space could be, for example, the space of continuous functions on [0,1], if the temperature is assumed to vary continuously along the bar.
   (That space is infinite-dimensional because T may simultaneously have an infinite number of independent values (at different values of x). For an exact explanation, see Hamel dimension.)

External Link Exchanges

Do you know how hard it is to get a link from a large encyclopaedia? Well we're different and will prove it. To get a link from us just add the following HTML to your site on a relevant page:

    <a href="http://distributed_parameter_systems.totallyexplained.com">Distributed parameter systems Totally Explained</a>

Then simply click through this link from your web page. Our crawlers will verify your link, extract the title of your web page and instantly add a link back to it. If you like you can remove the words Totally Explained and embed the link in article text.
   As long as your link remains in place, we'll keep our link to you right here. Please play fair - our crawlers are watching. Your site must be closely related to this one's topic. Any kind of spamming, dubious practises or removing the link will result in your link from us being dropped and, potentially, your whole site being banned.
