Characteristic Equations of the Standard and Descriptor Linear Electrical Circuits of Integer and Fractional Orders

The problem of calculation of the characteristic equations of the standard and descriptor linear electrical circuits of integer and fractional orders is addressed. It is shown that the characteristic equations of standard and descriptor linear electrical circuits are independent of the method used in their analysis: the state space method, the mesh method and the node method. The considerations are illustrated by examples of standard and fractional linear electrical circuits.
