Abstract

The invention refers to a method for initializing the computation of a quasi-periodic steady state of a multi-tone system, and to a computer program product for carrying out such a method. The method for initializing the computation of a quasi-periodic steady state of a multi-tone system comprises the following steps: (a) selecting a first one of the plurality of tones, and (b) performing a transient analysis over several periods with respect to the first selected tone, while keeping all periodic input sources of the multi-tone system with frequencies that are not multiples of the first selected tone constant. Afterwards, a single-tone Fourier transform of the results of the transient analysis is performed.
