Time Invariance

A system is time-invariant if for any input $ x(t)\! $ and any $ t_0\! $ (where $ t_0\! $ is a real number) the response to the shifted input $ x(t-t_0)\! $ is $ y(t-t_0)\! $.

Example of a Time Invariant System

Let $ y(t)=2x(t)+2\! $. The system is time invarient if for input $ y(t)=2x(t-t_0)+2\! $ the response is $ y(t)=2x(t)+2\! $.
