Abstract :
It is shown that the Jacobian determinant being nonzero for all values of its variables is both necessary and sufficient for the uniqueness of solutions of a wide class of networks. These networks may contain negative-resistance devices as well as Ebers-Moll transistors. It is shown that the norm coerciveness condition can essentially be taken for granted
