Singularity Excitations and Initial Value Problem in Continuous LTI Systems by Milan M. Ponjavic, Tomislav B. Sekara

“…It is shown that some reported disagreements and issues related to initial conditions, can be easily cleared out by using the smooth transition from classical calculus to mathematics used in system theory. It is also shown that the classical method is always the primary tool, even for determining the impulse response, while the impulse response is unnecessary or sufficient to determine the total system response, regardless of whether the convolution integral is used.…”

Towards a New Way of Understanding the Resilience of Socio-Technical Systems: The Safety Fractal Analysis Method Evaluated by Bart Accou, Genserik Reniers

“…Despite the systems approach to accident analysis being the dominant research paradigm and the concept of SMS being introduced in high-risk industries already for several years, accident investigation practice is still poor in analysing the basic elements that compose a safety management system (SMS) and in embracing system theory. In search of a systemic method for accident analysis that is easily applicable and less resource demanding than the actual methods, Accou and Reniers (2019) developed the SAfety FRactal ANalysis (SAFRAN) method. …”
