Abstract

Dissipation of energy — as well as its sibling the increase of entropy — are fundamental facts inherent to any physical system. The concept of dissipativity has been extended to a more general system theoretic setting via port-Hamiltonian systems and this framework is a driver of innovations in many of areas of science and technology. The particular strength of the approach lies in the modularity of modeling, the strong geometric, analytic and algebraic properties and the very good approximation properties.
