The arc-length method for the computation of characteristic curves

The present paper discusses the arc-length method that analyzes frequency response curve of the dynamic nonlinear network, driving-point, and transfer characteristic curves of the nonlinear resistive networks [1]. Although each point of the characteristic curve can be obtained by the numerical approaches [2]-[6] of the nonlinear equation, our arc-length method can trace the curve continuously if only we find a point of the curve.
