If you have definitions of AC and DC handy from IEEE or someone, stick
them on here. I'd say that the (apparent) widespread disagreement means
that, functionally, there is no single pervasive definition for these
terms, but it would be interesting to see if some of these bodies have
published definitions. It would be really interesting if they had
definitions, and they didn't quite agree with one another, or if they
were "wishy-washy".

Didn't see this response, so piggy-backing my reply.

There are literally hundreds of references on the web about DC, AC and
Transient Analyses. Browse some of the simpler overviews, and you
will see that the mathematical differences are clearly defined, and
that's what it's all about. The math determines the signal type. It
is my belief that the widespread disagreement is due to participants
that just like to argue a lot.
