  1. Here and in similar tables below only a negative first partial derivative is explicitly shown as sign – above an arrow, for example, in \(u\mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits^{ - }\dot{v}_{{{\text{in}}}}\). In case of accumulation, positive net change of u denoted as \(\dot{u}_{{{\text{in}}}}\) adds to u and negative net change of u denoted as \(\dot{u}_{{{\text{out}}}}\) subtracts from u. The same abbreviation is applied in other similar cases. The Vensim program assigns to feedback \(u\mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits^{{}}\dot{u}_{{{\text{in}}}}\) length one by convention.
