Abstract
We introduce a generalization of the scaled relative graph (SRG) to pairs of operators, enabling the visualization of their relative incremental properties. This novel SRG framework provides the geometric counterpart for the study of nonlinear resolvents based on paired monotonicity conditions. We demonstrate that these conditions apply to linear operators composed with monotone mappings, a class that notably includes NPN transistors, allowing us to compute the response of multivalued, nonsmooth and highly nonmonotone electrical circuits.
