There are twenty-four unknown variables.  The locations (and directions in the case of currents) are labeled on the circuit diagram.  All unknowns are assumed to be of the form
 +
: <math>X(t) = X_0 e^{i \omega t} + X_1</math>,
 +
where <math>X_0</math> gives the amplitude of oscillation, or the AC component, and <math>X_1</math> gives the DC offset.

 +
There are five categories of equations, which give a set of twenty-four equations in total.  Two categories of equations are non-linear and need to be linearized to solve this system as a linear model using matrices.

=== Resistor voltage drop ===
 +
 +
The resistor voltage drop equations all take the form
 +
: <math>\Delta V = IR</math>
 +
or
 +
: <math>V_\alpha - IR = V_\beta</math>.
