Abstract
We show in this paper that a class of Periodic Networks of Resistances (called PNR) can be used to solve partial differential equations. More precisely, each cell of this periodic network computes locally a finite difference approximation of the partial differential equation. The PNR circuits are composed of current source, voltage–controlled voltage source and positive and negative resistances. An example of application of PNR could be the real time control of distributed MEMS.
