  • Abstract
    In the framework of the behavioural approach, a new definition of the passive circuit component is proposed. It is based on the concept of a forwards concatenation set of an admissible trajectory. The so far elusive notion of the non-dynamic circuit component is also clarified. As an example of application, the passivity and available energy of the N-dimensional resistive, the Thevenin source, is thoroughly investigated.
