The aaflib is an implementation of the mathematical construct of affine arithmetics in C++. This construct has been introduced by Stolfi et. al. Their c-library can be found at http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/EXPORT/software/c/Index.html#libaa. The aaflib is based on the libaffa, a reimplemention of the original library, but has been developed further. It has been used as main calculation library for a spice-like nonlinear circuit simulator. Currently the library and the simulator are developed at the Institute of Microelectronic Systems in Hannover, Germany.

In this section, we show some example plots of the affine simulator.
The affine arithmetic has been used, to allow simulation of parameter variations in one simulation run.
Each uncorrelated parameter variation has been assigned a unique deviation symbol.
In the results you can see in red the borders of the affine simulation, in green are regular simulations using Monte-Carlo-Samples for the variations.
A transient simulation of a bandpass.
A AC simulation of the same circuit.
