Monotone one-port circuits

Maximal monotonicity is explored as a generalization of the linear theory of passivity, aiming at an algorithmic input/output analysis of physical models. The theory is developed for maximal monotone one-port circuits, formed by the series and parallel interconnection of basic elements. An algorithmic method is presented for solving the periodic output of a periodically driven circuit using a maximal monotone splitting algorithm, which allows computation to be separated for each circuit component. A new splitting algorithm is presented, which applies to any monotone circuit defined as a port interconnection of monotone elements

Index to 1981 NASA Tech Briefs, volume 6, numbers 1-4

Short announcements of new technology derived from the R&D activities of NASA are presented. These briefs emphasize information considered likely to be transferrable across industrial, regional, or disciplinary lines and are issued to encourage commercial application. This index for 1981 Tech Briefs contains abstracts and four indexes: subject, personal author, originating center, and Tech Brief Number. The following areas are covered: electronic components and circuits, electronic systems, physical sciences, materials, life sciences, mechanics, machinery, fabrication technology, and mathematics and information sciences
