Abstract :
This paper establishes a criterion to determine the effect of nonlinear coupled variables when setting up the equations for homotopic simulation. By resorting to a classification of the nonlinear branch relationships and the transactors in order to determine which is the node driving the most nonlinear equation, a very simple scheme is obtained
