However, the PL description should be efficient in data storage and the description should allow simple retrieval of the stored information. Furthermore, it would be useful if the model description could handle a large class of piecewise linear mappings. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003ePiecewise Linear Modeling and Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e explains in detail all possible model descriptions for efficiently storing piecewise linear functions, starting with the Chua descriptions. Detailed explanation on how the model parameter can be obtained for a given mapping is provided and demonstrated by examples. The models are ranked to compare them and to show which model can handle the largest class of PL mappings. \u003cbr\u003e All model descriptions are implicitly related to the Linear Complementarity Problem and most solution techniques for this problem, like Katzenelson and Lemke, are discussed according to examples that are explained in detail. \u003cbr\u003e To analyse PL electrical networks a simulator is mandatory. \u003cem\u003ePiecewise\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eLinear Modeling and Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e provides a detailed outline of a possible PL simulator, including pseudo-programming code. Several simulation domains like transient, AC and distortion are discussed. The book explains the attractive features of PL simulators with respect to mixed-level and mixed-signal simulation while paying due regard also to hierarchical simulation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003ePiecewise Linear Modeling and Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e shows in detail how many existing components in electrical networks can be modeled. These range from digital logic and analog basic elements such as transistors to complex systems like Phase-Locked Loops and detection systems. Simulation results are also provided. The book concludes with a discussion on how to find multiple solutions for PL functions or networks. Again, the most common techniques are outlined using clear examples. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003ePiecewise Linear Modeling and Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e is an indispensable guide for researchers and designers interested in network theory, network synthesis and network analysis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49694190076177,"sku":"DVD6305320950VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423232418065,"sku":"CIN6305320950VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53597942382865,"sku":"CIN6305320950A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/6305320950.jpg?v=1751130610"},{"product_id":"fearless-harry-greb-book-bill-paxton-9780786440160","title":"The Fearless Harry Greb","description":"The legendary Harry Greb stepped into the ring more than 300 times from 1913 to 1926, defeated opponents who outweighed him by more than 30 pounds, held the middleweight and light heavyweight titles and beat every Hall of Fame boxer he ever fought. Dubbed the Pittsburgh Windmill because of his manic, freewheeling style in the ring, Greb also crossed racial lines, taking on all comers regardless of color. An injury in the ring led to Greb's gradually going blind in one eye and should have ended his career, but he kept his condition secret and fought on. Tragically, the indomitable fighter would be dead by the age of 32, felled by complications during minor surgery. This biography of one of the toughest boxers of all time includes interviews, family recollections, modern doctors' analyses of Greb's eye injury and more than 120 rare photographs, as well as a complete fight record and round-by-round descriptions of his most famous fights.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51427524247825,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51427524378897,"sku":"GOR012037323","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51696814850321,"sku":"CIN0786440163G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51720681750801,"sku":"GOR004993241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589722730769,"sku":"NLS9780786440160","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0786440163.jpg?v=1750702879"},{"product_id":"taking-tiger-mountain-dvd-0814456022178","title":"Taking Tiger Mountain","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51595535057169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51595535286545,"sku":"DVDB07S45PKR9VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B07S45PKR9.jpg?v=1750810411"},{"product_id":"good-life-2007-dvd-0014381513226","title":"GOOD LIFE (2007)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53357733839121,"sku":"DVDB001DWNUEMVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53509708644625,"sku":"CINB001DWNUEMG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0014381513226.jpg?v=1774896246"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-bill-paxton.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
