Abstract :
A method based on matrix techniques for finding a pair of compatible i-v orientations is presented. The existence of such a pair of orientations is used to asses the uniqueness of the DC solution. The method deals with circuits containing V-resistors, I-resistors, independent current and voltage sources, nullators and norators
