In a dynamic relation, a given elasticity coefficient (coefficient) implies that the fractional rate of change for an influenced stock B is proportional to the fractional rate of change for the influencing stock A, which is connected via the stockInfoInput. The factor of proportionality in this case is called the A-elasticity of B. The rate of change for the stock B that is connected to the flowPort accordingly is given by the following equation, which uses Newton's dot notation for rates:

Notes

• The given elasticity coefficient can optionally be multiplied by an exogenous input u.


• By setting coefficient = 1 the input u can be used to provide a variable elasticity coefficient.
