Hierarchical automatic behavioral model generation of nonlinear analog circuits based on nonlinear symbolic techniques

An extended method of automatic behavioral model generation for nonlinear analog circuits with a focus on a decrease of simulation time is presented, together with a new simplification method based on the recognition of physical transistor properties of the element models.

Variation-aware behavioural modelling using support vector machines and affine arithmetic

This thesis combines Machine Learning techniques with affine arithmetic to include the effects of parameter variations into models, and extends the Sequential Minimal Optimisation algorithm’s selectivity to handle the new, larger optimisation problems.

A parallel circuit-partitioning algorithm aimed at minimizing the number of tearing nodes between subcircuits, the size of each subcircuit, or both, is presented and experimental results show the algorithm reaching optimum or better near-optimal solutions to problems for which existing algorithms failed or produced worse solutions.

The analysis methodology introduces the concept of the RMNA (reduced modified nodal analysis) matrix, which allows the characterization of symbolic networks in terms of only a small subset of the network variables (external variables) rather than the complete set of variables.

The modified nodal approach to network analysis

A modified nodalAnalysis (MNA) method is proposed here which retains the simplicity and other advantages of nodal analysis while removing its limitations.

Flowgraph analysis of large electronic networks

A hierarchical decomposition approach is realized using the so-called upward analysis of the decomposed network, which allows fully symbolic network formulas to be obtained in time linearly proportional to the size of the network.
