New equivalent resistance formula of [Formula: see text] rectangular resistor network represented by Chebyshev polynomials

In the process of exploring the field of circuits, obtaining the exact solution of the equivalent resistance between two nodes in a resistor network has become an important problem. This paper aims to introduce Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind to improve the equivalent resistance formula of [Formula: see text] rectangular resistor network, thereby improving the calculation efficiency. Additionally, the discrete sine transform of the first kind (DST-I) is utilized to solve the modeling equation. Under the condition of applying the new equivalent resistance formula, several equivalent resistance formulas with different parameters are given, and three-dimensional views are used to illustrate them. Six comparison tables are provided to showcase the advantages of the improved explicit formula in terms of computational efficiency, as well as the relationship between resistivity and the maximum size of the resistor network that the formula can effectively handle. This may provide more convenient and effective technical support for research and practice in electronic engineering and other related fields.

A novel formula for representing the equivalent resistance of the m × n cylindrical resistor network

The problem of solving the equivalent resistance between two points for resistor networks has important significance in physics. This paper mainly changes and rewrites the formula for calculating the resistance between two points of an unconventional m × n cylindrical resistor network with a zero resistor axis and any two left and right boundaries. To enhance the efficiency of calculating the equivalent resistance between two points, Chebyshev polynomials and hyperbolic cosine functions are employed to represent the new formula. And in the inference process, the famous discrete cosine transform of the third kind (DCT-III) is used to process the matrix. We give the equivalent resistance formula for several special cases, and display them by a three-dimensional graph. Subsequently, the calculation efficiency of the original formula and the rewritten formula are compared. At the end of the paper, a heuristic algorithm suitable for robot path planning on cylindrical environment is proposed.

Two optimized novel potential formulas and numerical algorithms for [Formula: see text] cobweb and fan resistor networks

The research of resistive network will become the basis of many fields. At present, many exact potential formulas of some complex resistor networks have been obtained. Computer numerical simulation is the trend of computing, but written calculation will limit the time and scale. In this paper, the potential formulas of a [Formula: see text] scale cobweb resistor network and fan resistor network are optimized. Chebyshev polynomial of the second class and the absolute value function are used to express the novel potential formulas of the resistor network, and described in detail the derivation process of the explicit formula. Considering the influence of parameters on the potential formulas, several idiosyncratic potential formulas are proposed, and the corresponding three-dimensional dynamic images are drawn. Two numerical algorithms of the computing potential are presented by using the mathematical model and DST-VI. Finally, the efficiency of calculating potential by different methods are compared. The advantages of new potential formulas and numerical algorithms by the calculation efficiency of the three methods are shown. The optimized potential formulas and the presented numerical algorithms provide a powerful tool for the field of science and engineering.

Analytical potential formulae and fast algorithm for a horn torus resistor network

In this paper, a (u+1)×v horn torus resistor network with a special boundary is researched. According to Kirchhoff's law and the recursion-transform method, a model of the resistor network is established by the voltage V and a perturbed tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix. We obtain the exact potential formula of a horn torus resistor network. First, the orthogonal matrix transformation is constructed to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this perturbed tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix; second, the solution of the node voltage is given by using the famous fifth kind of discrete sine transform (DST-V). We introduce Chebyshev polynomials to represent the exact potential formula. In addition, the equivalent resistance formulae in special cases are given and displayed by a three-dimensional dynamic view. Finally, a fast algorithm of computing potential is proposed by using the mathematical model, famous DST-V, and fast matrix-vector multiplication. The exact potential formula and the proposed fast algorithm realize large-scale fast and efficient operation for a (u+1)×v horn torus resistor network, respectively.

Fast algorithm and new potential formula represented by Chebyshev polynomials for an [Formula: see text] globe network

Resistor network is widely used. Many potential formulae of resistor networks have been solved accurately, but the scale of data is limited by manual calculation, and numerical simulation has become the trend of large-scale operation. This paper improves the general solution of potential formula for an [Formula: see text] globe network. Chebyshev polynomials are introduced to represent new potential formula of a globe network. Compared with the original potential formula, it saves time to calculate the potential. In addition, an algorithm for computing potential by the famous second type of discrete cosine transform (DCT-II) is also proposed. It is the first time to be used for machine calculation. Moreover, it greatly increases the efficiency of computing potential. In the application of this new potential formula, the equivalent resistance formulae in special cases are given and displayed by three-dimensional dynamic view. The new potential formulae and the proposed fast algorithm realize large-scale operation for resistor networks.

Potential formula of an m × n globe network and its application

Searching for the explicit solutions of the potential function in an arbitrary resistor network is important but difficult in physics. We investigate the problem of potential formula in an arbitrary m × n globe network of resistors, which has not been resolved before (the previous study only calculated the resistance). In this paper, an exact potential formula of an arbitrary m × n globe network is discovered by means of the Recursion-Transform method with current parameters (RT-I). The key process of RT method is to set up matrix equation and to transform two-dimensional matrix equation into one-dimensional matrix equation. In order to facilitate practical application, we deduced a series of interesting results of potential by means of the general formula, and the effective resistance between two nodes in the m × n globe network is derived naturally by making use of potential formula.

Potential formula of the nonregular m × n fan network and its application

Potential formula of an arbitrary resistor network has been an unsolved problem for hundreds of years, which is an interdisciplinary problem that involves many areas of natural science. A new progress has been made in this paper, which discovered the potential formula of a nonregular m × n fan network with two arbitrary boundaries by the Recursion-Transform method with potential parameters (simply call RT-V). The nonregular m × n fan network is a multipurpose network contains several different types of network model such as the interesting snail network and hart network. In the meantime, we discussed the semi-infinite fan network and a series of novel and special conclusions are produced, the effective resistance is educed naturally. The discovery of potential formulae of resistor network provides new theoretical tools and techniques for related scientific research.

Recursion-transform method for computing resistance of the complex resistor network with three arbitrary boundaries

We develop a general recursion-transform (R-T) method for a two-dimensional resistor network with a zero resistor boundary. As applications of the R-T method, we consider a significant example to illuminate the usefulness for calculating resistance of a rectangular m×n resistor network with a null resistor and three arbitrary boundaries, a problem never solved before, since Green's function techniques and Laplacian matrix approaches are invalid in this case. Looking for the exact calculation of the resistance of a binary resistor network is important but difficult in the case of an arbitrary boundary since the boundary is like a wall or trap which affects the behavior of finite network. In this paper we obtain several general formulas of resistance between any two nodes in a nonregular m×n resistor network in both finite and infinite cases. In particular, 12 special cases are given by reducing one of the general formulas to understand its applications and meanings, and an integral identity is found when we compare the equivalent resistance of two different structures of the same problem in a resistor network.

Resistance between two nodes in general position on an m×n fan network

The resistance between two nodes in general position on a fan network with n radial lines and m transverse lines is determined. Also a similar result of Izmailian, Kenna, and Wu [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 47, 035003 (2014)] for an m×n cobweb network is reproduced, but the method used here is significantly different. It avoids the use of the Kirchhoff matrix, requires the solution of just one instead of two eigenvalue problems, and results directly in only a single summation. Further, the current distribution is given explicitly as a byproduct of the method. The method is the same as that used by Tan, Zhou, and Yang [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46, 195202 (2013)] to find the cobweb resistance between center and perimeter for 1≤m≤3 and general n. Proof of their conjecture for general m is discussed.

Two-point resistance of a resistor network embedded on a globe

We consider the problem of two-point resistance in an (m-1) × n resistor network embedded on a globe, a geometry topologically equivalent to an m × n cobweb with its boundary collapsed into one single point. We deduce a concise formula for the resistance between any two nodes on the globe using a method of direct summation pioneered by one of us [Z.-Z. Tan, L. Zhou, and J. H. Yang, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46, 195202 (2013)]. This method is contrasted with the Laplacian matrix approach formulated also by one of us [F. Y. Wu, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 37, 6653 (2004)], which is difficult to apply to the geometry of a globe. Our analysis gives the result in the form of a single summation.

Universal amplitude ratios for scaling corrections on Ising strips

We study the (analytic) finite-size corrections in the Ising model on the strip with free, fixed (++), and mixed boundary conditions. For fixed (++) boundary conditions, the spins are fixed to the same values on two sides of the strip. We find that subdominant finite-size corrections to scaling should be to the form a(p)/N(2p-1) for the free energy f(N) and b(p)/N(2p-1) for inverse correlation length ξ(N)(-1), with integer value of p. We investigate the set {a(p),b(p)} by exact evaluation and their changes upon varying anisotropy of coupling. We find that the amplitude ratios b(p)/a(p) remain constant upon varying coupling anisotropy. Such universal behavior is correctly reproduced by the conformal perturbative approach.
