Key Points

To establish a mathematical framework for analyzing nonlinear circuits with multiple stable steady states used as computing or memory elements, with specific application to tunnel diode circuits.
Formulated systems of differential equations to model nonlinear circuits containing one or two tunnel diodes.
Introduced a potential function framework whose extrema define circuit steady states and whose minima identify stable switching states.
Provided a qualitative global characterization of all dynamic solutions across the circuit state space.
Derived quantitative parameter constraints on resistance (R), inductance (L), capacitance (C), and nonlinear characteristics required for reliable bistable operation.
