This volume is a handbook which contains data dealing with the characteristics of systems with distributed and lumped parameters. Some 200 problems are discussed and, for each problem, all the main characteristics of the solution are listed: standardizing functions, Green's functions, transfer functions or matrices, eigenfunctions and eigenvalues with their asymptotics, roots of characteristic equations, and others. In addition to systems described by a single differential equation, the handbook also includes degenerate multiconnected systems.
