1. An automated process for analysis and design of a dynamic system expressed as a set of algebraic and differential equations which include a design objective function of said system, whereby said system of equations is represented by a set of data that is identifiable to an automatic data processor, said process comprising the following steps each of which are executed by an automatic data processor:

  • reading said data into said data processor store and automatically generating a tableau vector;

    generating a sparse tableau matrix from said tableau vector and storing a representation of said matrix;

    compiling said data, tableau vector and tableau matrix into a plurality of computer instruction representations for deriving the state of the system;

    arranging said plurality of computer instruction representations in a hierarchical ordered sequence;

    selecting an initial value of a design parameter and integrating said tableau vector with respect to a swept variable, t, from an initial value TI to final value TF;

    performing an iteration for each value of t to find the convergent roots of said tableau vector;

    storing representations of said convergent roots;

    obtaining said design objective function from said tableau matrix and testing to see if said selected design parameter value optimizes said design function;

    repeating said integration iteration with an incremented value of said design parameter until an optimum is reached.
