Modeling of TiO2 memristor: from analytic to numerical analyses

This paper points out that some hitherto published models of ideal memristors can generate serious numerical errors in the environment of SPICE-family programs. The reasons for these errors are analyzed on one model of the TiO2 memristor. From the character of these reasons one can deduce the rules for identifying other potentially problematic memristor models and also the starting points for designing models which are more robust and reliable.
