Abstract :
A nonlinear

-port described by an

-dimensional sectionwise piecewise-linear (SPL) function is shown to be realizable by a circuit composed of a nonlinear converter and several one-ports. Also, a decomposition of the required converter is presented which is based on nonenergic nonlinear subnetworks.
