Abstract
An approach for the static modeling and analysis of nonlinear networks is presented. First, the piecewise-linear approximation of static characteristics of multiport devices is discussed in connection with the multidimensional linear interpolation technique. Next, two algorithms for solving general piecewise-linear resistor networks are given. The results obtained are of great effect for the dc analysis of nonlinear networks, in particular, with coupled elements such as transistors.Keywords
