Concept of System
Under the concept of system we understand a process that leads to the transformation of signals
[Beucher, 2015]
Taking into account the concept of one-dimensional signal, the definition of system becomes:
A system is a collection of devices that operate on input signals xi (t) or xi [n] (or excitations) to
produce a set of output signals yi (t) or yi [n] (or responses) [Sadiku, 2015]

Systems as a Transformation
If x is the input signal and y is the output signal, they are related through a transformation
y = Tx
(1)
y = Sys {x}
where T (or Sys) is an operator transforming x into y [Sadiku, 2015]. Otherwise stated
y (t) = T {x (t)} y [n] = T {x [n]}
(2)
y (t) = Sys {x (t)} y [n] = Sys {x [n]}

Discrete-Time Systems
A system is discrete-time (DT) if the
Continuous-Time Systems input and output signals are discrete-time
A system is continuous-time (CT) if the
input and output signals are
continuous-time [Sadiku, 2015] A digital system represents an
algorithm that processes signals

The current output of a causal system is affected by past inputs. In other words, the input
from (−∞, t] (or (−∞, n]) affects the output at t (or n)
Nevertheless, tracking the input x from −∞ onward is, if not impossible, very difficult
The concept of state can resolve this problem
State of a System
The state of a system at a time t0 (or n0 ) is the information at t0 (or n0 ) that, together
with the input x(t) (or x [n]), for t ≥ t0 (or n ≥ n0 ), determine uniquely the output y (t)
for t ≥ t0 (or n ≥ n0 ) [Chen, 2004]

Since v (t) = dt [y (t)], we have

We can determine the position and the speed of the mass at the time t from the knowledge of the
input in [t0 , t] (past and present) and the initial position and speed conditions at t = t0

In some sense, the effect of the input applied before t0 on future outputs is summarized in
y (t0 ) and v (t0 ), and the input before t0 is no longer required. The set of v (t) and y (t) is
known as the state vector
v (t) v (t0 )
x (t) = → x0 = x (t0 ) =
y (t) y (t0 )
If we know the initial state at t0 , then there is no more need to know the input applied
before t0

Lumped Systems
A system is called a lumped system if its number of state variables is finite
Distributed Systems
A system is called a distributed system if ifs number of state variables is infinity

Using the concept of states, we can express the output of a system as a function of the initial
conditions (initial state) at t0 and the input for t ≥ t0
x (t0 )
→ y (t) t ≥ t0
u(t) t ≥ t0
That is, the output of the system is the sum of two parts: one due to the initial state and the other
due to the input itself

Zero-State Response
Zero-Input Response
If x(t0 ) = 0, the output is excited
If u(t) = 0 for t ≥ t0 , the output is
exclusively by the input applied from t0
excited exclusively by initial conditions
onward and is called the zero-state
and is called zero-input response yzi (t)

x (t0 ) 6= 0

Principle of Superposition
The additivity and homogeneity properties are jointly called the principle of superposition. This implies that, for any k1
and k2 (i.e., k1 , k2 ∈ C)
T {x1 } = y1 T {x2 } = y2
T {k1 x1 + k2 x2 } = k1 T {x1 } + k2 T {x2 }

A system is linear if it satisfies homogeneity and additivity properties (that is, it satisfies the
superposition principle)

Let
xi (t0 )

ui (t) t ≥ t0
be any two state input-output pairs of the system and k1 , k2 ∈ C. The system is linear if the following
properties hold:
I Additivity
x1 (t0 ) + x2 (t0 )
which can be combined in the superposition
→ y1 (t) + y2 (t) principle
u1 (t) + u2 (t) t ≥ t0
I Homogeneity k1 x1 (t0 ) + k2 x2 (t0 )
→ k1 y1 (t) + k2 y2 (t)
k1 u1 (t) + k2 u2 (t) t ≥ t0

Definition of System Classification of Systems Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) Systems
A necessary condition for a system to be linear is that when the system is
initially relaxed, the output must be identically zero if no input is applied
The total response of a linear system can always be decomposed as the
zero-state (forced) and zero-input (natural) responses
The total response of a nonlinear system can be very different from the sum of
the zero-state and the zero-input responses

Linearization
Linearization
The Linearization technique is often the only way that allows us to analyze nonlinear systems. A simple
procedure of linearization corresponds to a first-order Taylor series approximation around a working point

Invertible Systems
Invertible Systems
A system is said to be invertible if distinct inputs lead to distinct outputs
[Oppenheim and Willsky, 1998]. In other words, if a system is invertible we can determine the
input from the knowledge of the output

Time-Varying Systems
A time-varying system is one whose parameters (or properties) vary with time [Sadiku, 2015]
CT time-varying systems are described by time-varying differential equations, whereas DT
time-varying systems are described by time-varying difference equations
Time-Invariant System
A system is said to be time-invariant or fixed if all system parameters (or properties) are constant with
time. In a time-invariant system, a time shift (advance or delay) in the input signal leads to the time shift in
the output signal
T {x (t − τ )} =y (t − τ )

T {x [n − m]} =y [n − m]
