LIM Algorithms for Diodes and Branch Capacitors

The latency insertion method (LIM) has been demonstrated as an optimum algorithm for the transient simulation of large networks. However, several network topologies and circuit elements do not lead to a LIM-compatible formulation. This work addresses the derivation of LIM expressions for non-standard topologies and elements. In particular, we address the formulation for nonlinear elements and branch capacitors. Examples and comparisons are given for evaluating the algorithms.
