Positive-real functions, often abbreviated to PR function, are a kind of mathematical function that first arose in electrical network analysis. They are complex functions, ''Z''(''s''), of a complex variable, ''s''. A rational function is defined to have the PR property if it has a positive real part and is analytic in the right halfplane of the complex plane and takes on real values on the real axis. In symbols the definition is, : In electrical network analysis, ''Z''(''s'') represents an impedance expression and ''s'' is the complex frequency variable, often expressed as its real and imaginary parts; : in which terms the PR condition can be stated; : The importance to network analysis of the PR condition lies in the realisability condition. ''Z''(''s'') is realisable as a one-port rational impedance if and only if it meets the PR condition. Realisable in this sense means that the impedance can be constructed from a finite (hence rational) number of discrete ideal passive linear elements (resistors, inductors and capacitors in electrical terminology).〔E. Cauer, W. Mathis, and R. Pauli, "Life and Work of Wilhelm Cauer (1900 – 1945)", ''Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Symposium of Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS2000)'', Perpignan, June, 2000.

(Retrieved online ) 3 June 2010.〕 *is rational (the quotient of two polynomials), *is real when ''s'' is real *has positive real part when ''s'' has a positive real part Many authors strictly adhere to this definition by explicitly requiring rationality, or by restricting attention to rational functions, at least in the first instance. However, a similar more general condition, not restricted to rational functions had earlier been considered by Cauer,〔 and some authors ascribe the term ''positive-real'' to this type of condition, while other consider it to be a generalization of the basic definition.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Positive-real function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
