Zur Steuerung von Analogrechenschaltungen
A 1966 German academic article from the Institut für Angewandte Mathematik at Technische Hochschule München, presenting switching-control methods for sequencing analog computer programs. The authors (Heinhold and Kulisch) describe how a matrix-based digital control unit can manage the compute/halt/initial-condition phase sequence of analog integrators, including branching on comparator outputs for iterative convergence and multi-segment computations. Published in Elektronische Rechenanlagen, Vol. 8, No. 5, pp. 231–235, it anticipates the digital-control architectures of hybrid computers.
