The 16 pages that link to State variable, each with the reason it gives.

• ThermodynamicsRelated: Pressure, volume, and temperature specify thermodynamic states.

• First law of thermodynamicsRelated: State variables characterize the initial and final conditions in an energy balance.

• Thermodynamic equilibriumRelated: Equilibrium is described by state variables such as pressure, temperature, and volume.

• HysteresisRelated: Hysteretic systems need internal state to retain information about earlier inputs.

• Computer simulationRelated: State variables record the simulated system's changing condition.

• State functionRelated: State variables such as pressure and temperature can determine state functions.

• Tipping pointRelated: Tracking state variables helps identify the system’s condition relative to a threshold.

• Discrete-event simulationRelated: Events update these values to represent changes in the modeled system.

• Deterministic systemRelated: A state must contain enough information for the governing rules to determine what follows.

• Equilibrium thermodynamicsRelated: State variables provide the coordinates used to describe equilibrium states.

• Linear dynamical systemRelated: State variables summarize the system’s memory at a given time.

• State (condition)Related: The term names the quantities used to represent a state, not the condition itself.
