Abstract
Method and system for determining electrical isomorphism between two electrical networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes representing the circuit as a hierarchically-arranged set of branches. The hierarchically-arranged set of branches including a first branch that includes a first electrical network and a second branch that includes a second electrical network, where the first and second branches are interconnected in the graph through a third branch at a higher hierarchical level in the graph than the first and second branches. Next, the method determines whether the first and second electrical networks are electrically isomorphic networks. If the first and second electrical networks are determined to be electrically isomorphic networks, the first and second electrical networks are represented with a single electrically isomorphic network. The method further includes simulating the first and second electrical networks using the single electrically isomorphic network.
