Abstract :
A reliable algorithm is described for calculation of the initial condition state vector as formulated in network transient analysis programs. The algorithm is based on a combination of Davidenko´s parameter-stepping method and Broyden´s method. It has been found to give fast reliable solutions even in cases for which most Newton-Raphson methods fail to converge, as well as for circuits that produce singular systems of equations at the starting point.
