An evolutionary-based methodology for symbolic simplification of analog circuits using genetic algorithm and simulated annealing

Highlights：

• An evolutionary-based multi-objective methodology is proposed for automatic symbolic simplification of analog circuits.

• The simplified symbolic expressions are generated in MATLAB automatically from the input netlist of the circuit.

• A hybrid algorithm based on genetic algorithm and simulated annealing is used to test the proposed simplification criterion.

• The proposed algorithm is successfully tested on three analog circuits, and its results are compared with HSPICE.
