Splitting algorithms and circuit analysis (2208.04765v1)

Abstract: The splitting algorithms of monotone operator theory find zeros of sums of relations. This corresponds to solving series or parallel one-port electrical circuits, or the negative feedback interconnection of two subsystems. One-port circuits with series and parallel interconnections, or block diagrams with multiple forward and return paths, give rise to current-voltage relations consisting of nested sums and inverses. In this extended abstract, we present new splitting algorithms specially suited to these structures, for interconnections of monotone and anti-monotone relations.
