Abstract

The memristor is a new lumped circuit element defined by a nonlinear charge-flux characteristic. The recent design of such a device has motivated a lot of research on this topic. In this communication we address certain analytical properties of semistate models of memristive circuits formulated in terms of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). Specifically, we focus on the characterization of the geometric index of the DAEs arising in so-called branch-oriented analysis methods, which cover in particular tree-based techniques. Some related results involving nodal models and non-passive problems are discussed in less detail.
