Multidomain modeling of nonlinear networks and systems

TL;DR: In this article, equations regarding Langrangian and Hamiltonian are discussed and compared to the Brayton-Moser equations, and a practical advantage of the BM framework is that the system variables are directly expressed in terms of easily measurable quantities, such as currents, voltages, velocities, forces, volume flows, pressures or temperatures.

A generalization of Brayton-Moser's mixed potential function

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give algorithms for constructing the Brayton-Moser mixed potential function for a class of nonlinear reciprocal RLC networks, and state necessary conditions for their existence.

Stationary principles and potential functions for nonlinear networks

TL;DR: In this article, a graph theoretic approach for deriving various stationary principles for single-element type nonlinear networks is presented, where the concepts of total content, co-content, and hybrid content are generalized to that of total parametric content for resistive non-linear networks containing multivalued elements.

Modeling and control of nonlinear networks : A power-based perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified power-based framework that provides a systematic dynamical description of a broad class of networks, including switched-mode power converters, is presented, where the underlying physical structure, like the interconnection of the individual elements, nonlinear phenomena and the power flow, are explicitly incorporated in the model.

Derivation of the Brayton–Moser equations from a topological mixed potential function

TL;DR: In this paper, a topological mixed potential function, P*T, is defined and shown to be an exact differential, and the Brayton-Moser equations are obtained from topological relationships of the network.

CXVI. Some general theorems for non-linear systems possessing resistance

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the concept of content and showed that the total content of any system in motion is an invariant property in non-linear or non-reactive systems.

Bistable systems of differential equations with applications to tunnel diode circuits

TL;DR: A mathematical analysis is developed for nonlinear circuits which have at least two stable steady states, and therefore are of interest as computing or memory elements, and results in quantitative restrictions on the parameters.

Thermodynamic approach to systems analysis and the development of a combined potential function

TL;DR: By comparison of certain thermodynamic and nonlinear circuit equations, a combined potential function that generalises the concept of entropy change is suggested in this paper, where the potential function is defined as a function of the entropy change.
