The Basics of Linearity

A system is linear if its inputs are sequentially equal to the outputs for a certain function:

$ x(t) = a*x1(t) + b*x2(t) = a*y1(t) + b*y2(t) $


Take for a simple example:

Ex) What is the output of:

$ x[n] = e^{j*pi*n} -> n*e^{-j*pi*n} $

$ x[n] \to Sys 1 \to n*x[-n] $


$ e^{j*n*y} = cos(n*y) + j*sin(n*y) $
