Abstract: 
In this paper, two different n-order topological circuit networks are connected by diodes to establish a unified network model, which is a previously unexplored problem. The network model includes not only five resistive elements but also diode devices, so the network contains many different network types. This problem can be solved through three main steps: First, the network is simplified into two different equivalent circuit models. Second, the nonlinear difference equation model is established by applying Kirchhoff’s law. Finally, the two equations with similar structures are processed uniformly, and the general solutions of the nonlinear difference equations are obtained by using the transformation technique. As an example, several interesting specific results are deduced. Our study on the network model has significant value, as it can be applied to relevant interdisciplinary research.
