Model order reduction for nonlinear problems in circuit simulation

Electrical circuits usually contain nonlinear components. Hence we are interested in MOR methods that can be applied to a system of nonlinear Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs). In particular we consider the TPWL (Trajectory PieceWise Linear) and POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) methods. While the first one fully exploits linearity, the last method needs modifications to become efficient in evaluation. We describe a particular technique based on Missing Point Estimation.
