Convexity of Resistive Circuit Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We give topological criteria for the convexity and the concavity of a current or a voltage in a resistive circuit, as a function of a source voltage or current, when the nonlinear resistor characteristics are all either convex or concave. When the criteria are satisfied, all circuits with the same structure will have a convex, or all will have a concave transfer characteristic. The application of the criterion to ladder circuits leads to explicit and easily verifyable conditions.

Convexity of resistive n-ports
2014 Linear reciprocal resistive n-ports manifest convex (downward concave) property in view of their positive definite character. Several useful theorems for resistive n-ports are proved by electrical circuit considerations. The suggested line of physical reasoning via n-ports is potent for deriving a variety of matrix inequalities for positive definite operators. Tome 41 No 5 1 er MARS 1980 L...

متن کاملA behavioral model of unipolar resistive RAMs and its application to HSPICE integration
Resistive RAMs (ReRAMs), where the resistance is changed by voltage and current biases, have extensively been studied to develop high-speed and large-capacity nonvolatile memories as well as functional nonvolatile memories. ReRAMs are so far intended for use as alternatives to contemporary flash memories, but the applications are not limited to Boolean alternatives. Although physical mechanisms...
