Written by an electrical engineer this book presents a novel approach in electric circuit theory which is based on interval analysis — an intensively developing branch or applied mathematics. Covering major topics in both circuit and system theory and their applications, it suggests a variety of methods that are suited for handling linear and nonlinear analysis problems in which some or all of the relevant data are given as intervals. Detailed algorithms of the interval methods presented are developed, enabling their easy implementation on computers. For the convenience of the reader a comprehensive survey of all the necessary interval analysis notions and techniques is provided in the introductory text. Most of the theoretical developments considered in the book are also clearly illustrated through numerical examples.
