Memory and Memoryless Systems

Memoryless System: A system is memoryless if for any $ t_o \in \mathbb{R} $ the output of the system, $ Y(t_o) $, only depends on the input at $ t_o $. In other words, the system has no past or future dependance.


Example of memoryless system: $ Y(t) = 2*X(t) $. This system is memoryless because at $ Y(0) = 2*X(0) $, it does not show any future or past dependancy.


Memory System: A system has memory if for any $ t_o \in \mathbb{R} $ , its output $ Y(t_o) $ depends on $ t_o \pm n \in \mathbb{R} $, which means it has past or future dependance.

Example of a system with memory: $ Y(t) = X(t) + X(t - 1) $. This system has memory because at $ Y(0) = X(0) + X(-1) $, $ X(-1) $ shows past dependance.
