Equations Solver Network: An Analog Approach

Abstract: The proposed work, starting from the re-formulation of algebraic equations solution in terms of matrix products, aims to describe how some relatively complex calculus, such as algebraic as long as differential equation solutions, can be performed in a fast and accurate way through simple analog resistive circuits, without iteration algorithms and therefore without involving digital processors, providing finally a huge reduction of computation time and consumption. Integration of the HW structures here discussed may open the way to a new generation of cheap problem solvers, useful for real time applications such as robotics or analog co-processors.
