Abstract :
The letter discusses the computer execution time for the DC solution of nonlinear networks using a particular analysis program, based on piecewise linear methods. A simple but effective technique is shown to considerably reduce the execution time; it is expected that the method could be applied to other programs based on PWL methods.
