New analytical function of potential and fast algorithm for solving potentials in m x n fan resistor network


Gaojun Zhanga, Xiaoyu Jianga,*, Yanpeng Zhengb,*, Zhaolin Jiangc

 
ABSTRACT:     This paper presents a refined analytical potential function (APF) for the m?n fan resistor network. Firstly, the original piecewise APFs are replaced with a single analytic function, which improves the calculation scalability. Secondly, Chebyshev polynomials of the second class are introduced to represent the analytical function of potential. A fast algorithm for calculating potentials is then developed using the sixth type of discrete sine transform, significantly reducing the computation time required for potential calculations. The paper simultaneously solves the APFs for several special cases, presenting their potentials in three-dimensional views. Finally, experiments are conducted to analyze the time and scalability of different methods for calculating the potential. The results of these experiments demonstrate that the improved potential function and fast algorithm enable efficient manipulation of large-scale resistor networks, the application scale of the original APF has been expanded.
