Abstract
Circuit simulation programs have proven to be most important CAD tools for the analysis of the electrical performance of integrated circuits. Depending on the number of modeled transistors, these simulators require the numerical solution of initial value problems for very large, sparse systems of differential (or even differential-algebraic) equations. For a survey see Refs. 1 and 2.
