Q2. What are the future works in this paper?
The presented results provide the possibility to obtain information about the index of the systems and by topological analysis of the network
Q3. what is the vector of unknowns for the conventional MNA?
Of course if the network does not contain controlled sources then the source functions reduce to functions i t and v t which depend on time onlyNowadays circuit simulation packages use two di erent approaches for solving the conventional and the charge oriented oneFor the conventional MNA the vector of unknowns consists of all node voltages and all branch currents of current controlled elements
Q4. What is the simplest way to set up the MNA equations?
The scheme to set up the MNA equations isWrite node equations by applying KCL Kirchho s Current Law to each node except for the datum nodeAjThe vector j represents the branch current vector
