✦ Synopsis

When, during causality assignment in bond graph modelling, one is faced with a causality indetermination, one is told to assign "arbitrary" causalities. No rule is given to help except of course that of consistency. However, the dtxerent consistent causal assignments do not necessary lead to the same algorithm ejiciency. Some very simple assignment rules can directly lead to an optimal solution. These rules are particularly useful when causalities are assigned by a computer program.
