If all elemental equations are defined for all time, then the system is a continuous-time system.

如果所有的基础方程都定义于整个时间过程，那么，该系统就是连续时间系统。

If, as in sampling or digital systems, some elemental equations are defined or used only at discrete points in time, a discrete-time system is the result.

而假如，在采样问题或数字系统中常见这种情况，有些基础方程仅定义于，或仅能应用于离散的时间点上，这就导致了离散时间系统。

When all elemental equations can be described by a set of constant parameter values, as in the familiar RLC circuit, the system is said to be stationary or time-invariant or constant coefficient.

当所有基础方程都能用一组定常参数值来描述，正如熟知的RLC电路的情况，就称该系统是稳态的，或时不变的，或常系数的。

Besides the straight action stuff, we also thought it might be fun to put it through another extreme -- though this time an elemental one.

Although the parties likely to assume power doubtless feel threatened by extremism, the post-electoral situation will force them to focus time and energy on more elemental things: reestablishing civilian rule after nearly a decade out of power, reversing many of Musharraf's recent actions, perhaps seeking his ouster, sorting out differences among themselves, and dealing with pent-up public frustrations about lack of services and other grievances.
