Sensitivity comparisons of various analogue computer simulations†

Abstract

Given a linear time-invariant differential equation, there are many ways to simulate it in an analogue computer. In this paper comparisons of these various simulations are given. It is shown that the dummy variable method is the best in terms of easiness to set up and number of components used. However, if the sensitivity is considered, the Jordan canonical form simulation is the best.
