  • Abstract
    This paper presents a piecewise linear (PWL) resistive simulator. It uses an efficient algorithm to obtain the constraint matrix of a linear multiport from the modified nodal analysis (MNA) equations and a novel algorithm to solve the generalized linear complementarity problem (GLCP) that arises from the PWL circuit equations
