Abstract :
We present a simple algorithmic procedure for constructing a multiple-input translinear element (MITE) network from a translinear-loop equation. We also give a number of MITE-network transformations that alter the structure of the MITE network without altering the translinear-loop equation that it embodies. The results that we establish in this paper serve as foundations for the synthesis of both static and dynamic MITE networks from high-level specifications.
