Abstract :
Numerical methods of solution to linear equations are dicussed with reference to a bipolar-transistor model. Results are presented that show the advantages of using a strongly implicit procedure (s.i.p.). A new technique for applying iteration parametrers to s.i.p. is proposed. This method is compared with both direct and other iterative methods.
