Tracking sensitivity: an alternative algorithm for linear nonreciprocal circuits

A previous algorithm by Leung and Spence for computing component tracking sensitivity is occasionally incapable of application. An alternative algorithm is presented that is always applicable and which is believed to be computationally more attractive than Leung and Spence´s for circuits containing of the order of 20 or fewer nodes. The similarity between these techniques and some earlier work by Branin for computing the steady-state a.c. analysis of a circuit is also pointed out.
