Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods related to fast simulation of power supply networks and identification of a set of extrema (e.g., maxima or minima) waveforms associated with the power supply networks. In accordance with an embodiment, a method is provided for estimating the worst case voltage drop on the power delivery network of a circuit, comprising selecting a model of a power delivery network of a circuit, simulating the circuit over a predefined number of vectors, collecting dynamic voltage waveforms at each of a plurality of points on the power delivery network, calculating a dynamic worst case voltage waveform at each of the plurality of points, and reporting the dynamic worst case voltage waveform along with an associated confidence interval.
