Periodic versus non-periodic function

As part of the first homework in ECE301 this semester, we were asked to give an example of a periodic function as well as an example of a non-periodic function. Here are my answers. A precise definition of periodic function can be found on my colleague Brian Thomas' page.

Please read the instructor's comments here.

Periodic Function

Graph ECE301Fall2008mboutin.jpg


Example of Periodic Function since it is a repeated signal every cycle --> Triangle Wave

Non-Periodic Function

Example of Non-Periodic Function since it does not repeat itself each cycle --> y = lnx
