’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

A three-dimensional calculational method has been developed for use in studying xenon oscillations and their control. This method is based on nodal analysis and a modified one-group theory and includes all major feedback mechanisms which are important in xenon transients. Comparisons have been made between the results obtained with this method and with more sophisticated methods and good agreement has been found in all cases. Significant reductions in computing times are obtainable with this method.
