A system is invertible if distinct inputs yield distinct outputs.

A system is time invariant if for any function x(t) a time shift of the function x(t-t0) the output function y(t) is time shifted in the same manner, y(t-t0).
  
Invertible System:
 
 
y(t) = <math>\frac{3*x(t) + 8}{1}</math>

x(t) -> |Sys 1| -> y(t) -> |Sys 2| -> x(t)
 
 
The two equations are inverses of each other.

The System is not invertible because for a given set of inputs you cannot differentiate which of the output will result.

Time Invariant Systems

A system is time invariant if for any function x(t) a time shift of the function x(t-t0) the output function y(t) is time shifted in the same manner, y(t-t0).


A system is time variant if this time shift is not present, or is distorted in the output function.
