The linear theory for the eigenfrequencies of the extended Pierce diode for resistive, capacitive, and inductive external circuits is tested via computer simulation with the p-smcapsd-smcapsw-smcaps1 code, and is verified to within the accuracy of the simulation (between 1% and 0.01% depending on the circumstances). The simulations were remarkably inexpensive in terms of computer time, and could have been performed on a personal computer.
