Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for determining a resistance of a conducting structure. The conducting structure can be partitioned into a set of polygons based on (1) equipotential lines and (2) boundaries of the conducting structure. Next, a matrix equation can be constructed, wherein for at least one polygon in the set of polygons, electric potentials of boundary elements on the boundaries of the polygon are represented by linear combinations of electric potentials of two or more equipotential lines. The resistance of the conducting structure can then be determined by solving the matrix equation.
