The Cauer networks generally have physical significance
and may be divided between nodes to separate thermal
behavior due to one portion of the network from another.
The Foster networks, though when sorted by time constant
(as above) bear a rough correlation with the Cauer networks,
are really only convenient mathematical models. Cauer
networks can be easily implemented using circuit simulating
tools, whereas Foster networks may be more easily
implemented using mathematical tools (for instance, in a
spreadsheet program), according to the following formula:
