Recalling my reading on a variety of physical systems solutions were always defined for some time after the system is energised.
For example circuits, waves...
For these systems a whole lot of complex, "stuff" eg sloshing around of energy, occurs to result in a stable value in time, stable does not imply constant here.
For discussion how would one analyse
1. the signals in an AC simple circuit as soon as it is energised up to the time you get a stable output that is the same as what you would measure.
2. The amplitudes of a string as it goes from one overtone to the next.
Is such analysis even possible to write??
Is the knowledge of transient states useful or revealing of anything??
I get experimenters only are interested in what they measure is the measurable steady state values.
Just a curiosity question,
