Nonlinear Circuits and Systems, Final Report of a Workshop Held at Rice University, Houston, Texas on January 4-5, 1980

摘要

A workshop on nonlinear circuits and systems was convened to review the state-of-the-art and identify future trends; foster ties between theory and application; and provide broad and up-to-date information about the development of nonlinear circuits and systems. Because the nonlinear subject is so extensive, certain topics were chosen to represent recent major research activities and emerging research areas. The proceedings are divided into four topics: Nonlinear Mathematics--including those areas of mathematics which are active and relevant to nonlinear problems; Nonlinear Systems--consisting of discussions of large scale systems, decomposition and well-posedness, models and representations, and robustness in feedback systems and foliation; Nonlinear Circuits--providing summaries of the state-of-the-art in device modeling, resistive nonlinear circuits, and dynamic nonlinear circuits; and Nonlinear Problems--identifying problem areas which offer opportunities for significant new developments and applications of nonlinear techniques. The workshop agenda and participant list are included.
