Multirate ROW methods and latency of electric circuits

Abstract In highly integrated electric circuits only a small part of the elements is active, whereas the major part is latent. This latency can be exploited by multirate methods, which integrate components with different stepsizes. The convergence theory of multirate Rosenbrock-Wanner schemes is presented and automatic multirate strategies are discussed. The resulting code MROW(2)3 is tested for an inverter chain. The MOSFETs are modeled due to Shichman and Hodges.
