Some Results on Ideal Rectifier CircuitsBell Laboratories Memorandum, June 8, 1955.
Claude E. Shannon · 2009
Some results are obtained in the theory of circuits constructed of rectifiers and of rectifiers and relay contacts. Such circuits are shown to be related to partially ordered sets. Upper and lower bounds are found for the number of rectifiers necessary forn-terminal rectifier circuits. A duality theorem is obtained. A partly ordered set analyzer is described.
