Abstract

A new adaptive approach to solving large dimension harmonic balance (HB) problems is presented. The method is based on adjusting the order of the equation system according to the degree of nonlinearity of each node in the circuit. A block-diagonal preconditioner is used to construct an algorithm for order reducing during the iterative HB process.

A new robust capacitively coupled second harmonic quadrature LC oscillator

A study of some reported superharmonic LC quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-QVCO) is performed in which it is shown that robustness of the quadrature oscillation varies depending on the coupling configuration. Next, a new superharmonic LC-...
Nonsymmetric Preconditioner Updates in Newton-Krylov Methods for Nonlinear Systems
^† Special Section: 2010 Copper Mountain Conference

Newton-Krylov methods, a combination of Newton-like methods and Krylov subspace methods for solving the Newton equations, often need adequate preconditioning in order to be successful. Approximations of the Jacobian matrices are required to form ...
Descent Directions of Quasi-Newton Methods for Symmetric Nonlinear Equations

In general, when a quasi-Newton method is applied to solve a system of nonlinear equations, the quasi-Newton direction is not necessarily a descent direction for the norm function. In this paper, we show that when applied to solve symmetric nonlinear ...
