Comparing with the partial modes, series of the regular modes ensures less "truncation" errors (caused by the Gibbs' phenomenon) at the same number of the terms. A generalized wave equation for a regular dispersive and dissipative electrodynamic line of arbitrary geometry and dispersion characteristic is derived. The classic wave equation, the Klein-Gorgon equation, and the Telegraphist’s equation are subsets of one. The advantages of using the four-vector potential, inherently taking into account the Lorenz gauge, is discussed. A full set of regular modes of the potential four-vector in a rectangular waveguide is written.en-USgeneralized wave equationregular linefour-potentialConference proceedings
