Thermal networks from heat wave equation

In this paper passive and reciprocal thermal networks are introduced which model the finite velocity of heat propagation. In particular it is shown that the theory of distributed and discretized thermal networks deduced from the heat diffusion equation and the multi-point moment matching technique for deriving approximated lumped thermal networks of small state-space dimensions can be extended to thermal networks ruled by the hyperbolic heat equation.
