Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Path following circuits (PFCs) are circuits for solving nonlinear equations in cooperation with the cir- cuit simulator SPICE. In the method using PFCs, formulas of numerical methods are described by circuits, which are solved by SPICE. Using PFCs, numerical analysis without programming is possible, and it is expected that various techniques implemented in SPICE makes the numerical analysis very efficient. In this paper, we apply the homotopy method using PFCs to various nonlinear problems where the homotopy method is proven to be globally convergent; namely, to fixed-point problems, nonlinear boundary value problems, linear programming problems (in- feasible interial-point method), nonlinear programming problems, and the computation of channel capacity. This approach may open a new possibility in the fields of applied mathematics and operations research.
