Theory question number 1

Find the resistive companion model for a non-linear resistor that is described by the
following equation: I = kv3

This is what I have done so far:

∂i
i n +1 = in + = 3kv 2
∂v
i n +1 = G R *Vn +1 + [ i n − ( G R * Vn ) ] ; where i = kv n3

Linearization – Jacobian theorem

The above equation is of the form I = GV – B. Now all I need to know is how do I
write the matrix. That is, the conductance matrix and the history vector.
These are the next set of questions:

Here is the circuit that goes with the above problems.

I am done with number 1, just need to make sure that I got the right answer.

This is the answer that I got:

Vout ( s) 20
G(s) = = Is this right?
Vin( s ) ( 4e − 14 ) * s + (1.4e − 7 ) * s + 20.1
