Abstract

This article focuses on the study of local truncation errors (LTEs) in the Network Simulation Method (NSM), specifically when using the trapezoidal method and Gear’s methods. The NSM, which represents differential equations through electrical circuit elements, offers advantages in solving nonlinear dynamic systems such as the van der Pol equation. The analysis compares the performance of these numerical methods in terms of their stability and error minimization, with particular emphasis on LTE. By leveraging circuit-based techniques prior to numerical application, the NSM improves convergence. This study evaluates the impact of step size on LTE and highlights the trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost when using the trapezoidal and Gear methods.
