A very fast and simple algorithm for finding all equilibrium points of dynamic one-dimensional (1-D) arrays, constituted by resistively coupled dynamic piecewise-linear cells (for example, oscillators), is presented. This algorithm is based oil the recursive construction of a uni-path V-I characteristic derived from the associated resistive array, obtained by opening the capacitors and shortening the inductors within dynamic cells. Some examples show the efficiency of the algorithm. About 30000 equilibrium points of a 100-cell array are determined within a few seconds with a common PC
