A distributed parameter system (DPS) is a type of system in which the state variables depend on both time and one or more spatial variables. This contrasts with lumped parameter systems, where the state variables depend only on time and are often represented by ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In distributed parameter systems, the governing equations typically involve partial differential equations (PDEs), as they account for variations across spatial dimensions.
