A variety of existence and uniqueness theorems for the current flows in infinite electrical networks have been previously established, but there is virtually no information on how to compute those current flows under the practical requirement that the power dissipated and energy stored in the network be finite. This problem is addressed herein. It is shown that the characteristic-impedance method of analyzing lumped transmission lines can be adapted to semi-infinite half-plane resistive grids…
