Abstract

In this note we study two questions regarding linear time-invariant distributed systems, namely: (1) When can the given system be approximated by a lumped system? (2) When can the given system be stabilized by a lumped system? In each case we obtain a complete answer to the question in terms of the behaviour of the purely atomic parts of the stable numerator and denominator of the plant.
