Rather than computing the evolution of a single trajectory, robust simulation computes the evolution from a set of initial conditions in the state space, for all forcing input signals within a given class. We describe here a tool to perform this analysis using mathematical programming. Among various applications, the tool allows to estimate the domain of attraction of equilibria, and to determine if some design speci£cations — expressed themselves in terms of reachability of subsets of the state-space — are met. A test of the tool on Chua’s circuit is presented. date: 2000 date_type: published publication: Proceedings of the 8th IEEE International Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems publisher: World Scientific Publishing place_of_pub: Singapore pagerange: 131-135 event_dates: Catania, Italy refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789810243418 book_title: Nonlinear dynamics of electronic systems : proceedings of the IEEE workshop editors_name: Setti, Gianluca editors_name: Rovatti, Riccardo editors_name: Mazzini, Gianluca related_url_url: http://www.worldscibooks.com/chaos/4453.html related_url_type: pub citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Giovanardi, L. and Torrisi, Fabio Danilo Robust simulation of nonlinear electronic circuits.
