Abstract

The purpose of this note is (i) to point to a reference missing in the paper (Mayo-Maldonado et al., 2018) and (ii) to show that some of its content is covered in a more general setting by the results in that reference (Göknar, 1972).

Highlights

As explained in the sequel, some of the results developed for specific circuits in Sections 5 and 7 of the paper given in [1] can be obtained as applications of results in [2] presented for arbitrary passive circuits containing inductor only cut-sets and/or capacitor only loops. 2
In case of a singular L (C) matrix, Theorem 3 gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the energy at t0+ to be zero showing how essential is the nonsingularity of L (C) matrix
There is no need for all the lengthy derivations for a circuit consisting of two capacitors in Section 5 of paper [1]; they can all be derived from the general formulation in [2]
