A New Approach to Overcome the Overflow Problem in Computer - Aided Analysis of Nonlinear Resistive Circuits

چکیده

This paper is addressed to the so-called overflow problem commonly encountered in the computer simulation of nonlinear resistive circuits containing rapidly varying nonlinearities such as exponentials found in the models of diodes and transistors. A novel approach which makes use of the arc-lengths of the nonlinear characteristic curves as the variables of iteration is proposed. It is proved, under rather mild conditions, that the arc-length approach not only overcomes the overflow problem, but also leads to a more rapid rate of convergence. Moreover, it is proved that for most practical diode-transistor circuits, the region of convergence associated with the arc-length approach enlarges rapidly as the number of diodes and transistors increases. Hence in so far as choosing the initial guess is concerned, the advantage for using the arc-length approach over the conventional approach increases with the size of the network. Extensive numerical experiments confirm the superior convergence property of this approach even for circuits which violate the sufficient conditions invoked by the rigorous ~athematical proofs.

Robust high-dimensional semiparametric regression using optimized differencing method applied to the vitamin B2 production data

Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
