  • Abstract
    THIS paper presents an algebra that can aid in the simplification, the synthesis, and the understanding of circuits containing rectifiers and resistors. More specifically, it gives a method of rendering rectifier-resistor circuits into symbols with rules for manipulating these symbols. Here, in essence, an algebra is set up analogous to, but differing considerably from the well-known algebra of Shannon for relay circuits.1
