Canonical piecewise-linear representation of curves in the wave digital domain [pdf]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Global, explicit representations of nonlinearities are desirable when implementing nonlinear Wave Digital (WD) structures, as they free us from the burden of managing look-up tables, performing data interpolation and/or using iterative solvers. In this paper we present a method that, starting from certain parameterized PieceWise-Linear (PWL) curves in the Kirchhoff domain, allows us to express them in the WD domain using a global and explicit representation. We will show how some curves (multi-valued functions in the Kirchhoff domain) can be represented as functions in canonical PWL form in the WD domain. In particular, we will present a procedure, which, in the most general case, also returns the conditions on the reference port resistance under which it is possible to find explicit mappings in the WD domain.
