‐function to the generalized diode–series–parallel resistance circuit, extending its usability beyond solar cell configurations. Furthermore, the approximate solutions are derived through Halley's iterative procedure and Newton's method, offering an efficient and systematic approach to solving such nonlinear systems. By comparing the proposed solutions with existing literature and validating them through MATLAB/SIMSCAPE simulations as well as experimental measurements conducted in the laboratory, the results underscore the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed techniques. These findings provide valuable insights into the accurate and robust modeling of the generalized diode–series–parallel resistance circuit.
ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a new analytical approach for nonlinear series resistor–inductor–diode (R–L–D) circuits based on the Padé rational [1/1] approximation of the diode's exponential characteristic. Starting from the nonlinear differential equation governing the circuit, explicit approximate closed‐form expressions for time as a function of current, as well as invertible approximate closed‐form expressions for current as a function of time, are derived. The proposed method...
Abstract
For the accurate planning of overhead lines, a catenary–based calculation is used, because the conductor curve in the span takes the shape of the catenary. On the other hand, there is a parabola–based calculation, which is considered approximate and is usually applied in the case of overhead line with spans up to 400 metres, since the difference between the catenary and the parabola is then almost negligible. While there are generally no differences in important formulas...

This short communication presents approximate solutions for a nonlinear diode circuit followed by an RC shunt filter. The diode's exponential current–voltage characteristic introduces strong nonlinearity, making the analysis challenging.
