A new method is described of determining the initial values of state variables in active RLC networks. This method utilizes neither the conservation principle of charges and fluxes nor the theory of distributions. An RLC active network is assumed to be formed at t = 0 by joining or disconnecting the elements that are contained in it, this operation being performed by the use of a set of switches. The new method is based on the consideration of switches as independent sources, and the state equations are extended to cover this situation, and their solution at t = 0 + gives the initial conditions that have been sought. Further, the new method is applicable to any state‐space formulation techniques used.
