Time Invariance

Background

A time invariant system refers to a system where the time has no affect on the amplitude of the function. To put it another way, time is never multiplied or taken to any power, affecting the amplitude

Example of Time Invariant function

$ y(t)=2x(t)cos(t)+1 $ because replace t with $ x_1=x(t-k) $ ,

$ y_1(t-k)=2x_1cos(t)+1=2x(t-k)cos(t-k)+1 $

Now shifted again

$ y_2=y(t-k)=x_2(t-k)cos(t-k)+1=y_1(t) $
