Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is well-known that the geometry of the solution set of a piecewise-linear resistive circuit can be very complicated. The circuit can have multiple solutions, can have DC operating points that are continuous or unbounded, and can have characteristic curves that contain full polygons. Finding complete solution sets of such circuits is called {it complete analysis}. In this paper, an easily implementable method is proposed for the complete analysis of piecewise-linear resistive circuits. In this method, a piecewise-linear resistive circuit is first described by a generalized linear complementarity problem, and then it is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. Then, it is solved by the integer programming solver CPLEX. Using the proposed method, the complete solution set can be obtained easily by solving integer programming problems only twice.
