  • Abstract
    An efficient algorithm is presented for the searching of all solutions of a piecewise-linear (PWL) resistive network. Let P n be the number of largest segments of PWL resistors, and Pn-1 the second largest. The algorithm presented is better than the brute-force method by a factor of Pn×Pn -1 and the Chua and Ying method, the most efficient method at the present time, by a factor of at least Pn-1. The algorithm is based on a PWL network theorem, which is also introduced
