Circuit theory - Resistor function for dynamic non linear circuits

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a paper by L. Chua regarding dynamic non-linear circuit analysis, specifically Theorem 2 in section 3.2, which addresses the existence of the resistor function. The author questions the necessity of all three conditions outlined in the theorem, arguing that counterexamples exist that demonstrate only the first condition is essential. This perspective challenges the paper's assertion that conditions 1-3 are necessary for the resistor function's existence. The conversation seeks validation or refutation of this interpretation, highlighting the complexity of non-linear circuit behavior. Clarification on these conditions is crucial for understanding resistor functions in dynamic non-linear circuits.

About necessary conditions for the existence of "Resistor function" for a generic dynamic non linear network
Hi,

I'm reading the following paper (L. Chua) about the state-of-art of dynamic non linear circuit analysis -- Chua_Dynamic_Circuits

I've a doubt about Theorem 2 on section 3.2 On the Existence of the Resistor Function that establishes sufficient conditions for the existence of network "Resistor function". In the rest of the paper it is said that conditions 1-3 of Theorem 2 are actually necessary for the existence of the resistor function.

I believe it is incorrect because, as mentioned before in the paper, we can build counterexamples to show that is not the case (take for instance an a-dynamic non linear "resistor" having an i-v voltage-controlled characteristic described by a Lipschitz function). Actually the necessary condition should be just the first one.

What do you think about ?

Any help ? thanks
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
