Periodic / Non-Periodic Functions

CONTINUOUS TIME (CT) For a function to be continuous in discrete time, it must satisfy $ a(x+T) = a(x) $ for any T greater than zero. Furthermore, any continuous time function that does not satisfy the pre-mentioned condition can be deemed non-periodic.

DISCRETE TIME (DT) For a function to be continuous in discrete time, it must satisfy $ a[n+T] = a[n] $. In discrete time, both sin and cosine are non-periodic.
