=== GNucap Linear Solver === Gnucal linear solver is implemented in file m_matrix.h - that is C++ template. Most things are depicted in very extensive comments to this file. Some things which are discovered and are listed here. == No zero diagonal element allowed == Solver has an issue if diagonal element is zero. lets consider system: | eps -1| | -1 | | | *X = | | | 10 -10| | 0 | if eps =0 or close to 0 (like 1.e-20 or so) current solver gives wrong answer of {1,0}. having eps=1.e-6 answer id ok = {1,1} This may be explained that during LU decomposition with no permutations with very small eps some values may grow higher 1/machine_eps and mask significant digits. Practical advice: Do not use .options gmin smaller than 1.e-6 .. 1.e-8 unless you know what you do. With current solver in my distort results . Note - spice circuit which creates this system: * circuit - close to Rozenbrok .options nobypass .options gmin = 1.e-6 * i1 = 10 *( v2 - v1^2) * i2 = 1 - v1 * I1 1 0 dc 0 G11 1 0 1 0 -10 G11 1 0 2 0 10 G21 2 0 1 0 -1 I2 2 0 dc 1 .print op v(1) v(2) i(I1) i(I2) .op .end
