Time Invariance

A system is called time invariance if and only if:

$ 'x --> [system] --> y' <==> 'y = f(x)' ('x --> [f] --> f(x)' \, $

Example of a time invariance system

System is: $ f(x) = 23x \, $

$ X_1(t) = t^2 \, $

$ X_2(t) = 2t^2 \, $


$ f(aX_1 + bX_2) = af(X_1) + bf(X_2) \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) = af(t^2) + bf(2t^2) \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) = a*23t^2 + b*46t^2 \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) = 23(at^2 + 2bt^2) \, $

$ f(x) = 23x \, $



Example of a non time invariance system

System is: $ f(x) = 23x + 1\, $

$ X_1(t) = t^2 \, $

$ X_2(t) = 2t^2 \, $


$ f(aX_1 + bX_2) \neq af(X_1) + bf(X_2) \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) \neq af(t^2) + bf(2t^2) \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) \neq a(23t^2+1) + b(23*(2t^2)+1) \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) \neq 23 at^2 + 1 + 46 bt^2 + b \, $

$ f(at^2 + 2bt^2) \neq 23 (at^2 + 2bt^2) + a + b \, $

$ f(x) \neq 23x + 1 \, $
