Chapter 4. Causality, Time Invariance, and Linearity

This document discusses properties of linear time-invariant systems including causality, time-invariance, and linearity. It defines impulse response and transfer functions for both continuous and discrete-time linear systems. Examples are provided to illustrate concepts like finding the Laplace transform of a convolution.

2. Characterization of Outputs to a Given Input

All Outputs to a Given Input:

‒ Linearity allows one to use a single output yf corresponding to a given input u to construct all remaining
outputs corresponding to u.
‒ Theorem: Let yf be an output corresponding to a given input u. All outputs corresponding to u can be
obtained by

where yh is an output corresponding to the zero input.

‒ To construct all outputs corresponding to u:

Find one particular output corresponding to the input u.
