Optimal charging of capacitors

Finite-time thermodynamics is illustrated by some examples of process optimalization. The objective is minimum entropy production during an electrical process, i.e. the charging of a capacitor. Non-linear electronic processes are investigated in particular, because of their importance in computers and displays.
