Multirate Schemes in Circuit Simulation
Many technical systems couple phenomena on different time
scales and multirate methods are appropriate to reflect and exploit these
different activity levels. Thus, multirate is to offer (close) inherent
step sizes, while couplings are treated specially. For one-step-methods,
the generalised mode of multirating incorporates internal stages for the
coupling variables. Hence the method conserves the quality of being one-step-method.
Focusing on applications in circuit simulation, multirate W- and ROW-schemes
of order (3)2 were developed and investigated. Some method features and
test results on the Inverter-Chain-benchmark will be presented and discussed.
