Abstract
Using observable quantities and state variable of a dynamical process, a general evolutionary equation is defined which unifies classical ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and hereditary systems of retarded and neutral type. Specific illustrations are given using transmission lines nearest-neighbor coupled at the boundary and the theory of heat transfer in solids. Some spectral theory for linearization of the equations is also discussed.
