This system is not causal because the output <math class="inline">y(t)</math> is dependent on future values of <math>x(t)</math> at t. For any <math class="inline">t_0 \in \Re</math>, the output at <math class="inline">t_0</math>, <math class="inline">y(t_0)</math>, DOES NOT depend only on the input <math class="inline">x(t_0)</math> at <math class="inline">t_0</math> or before <math class="inline">t_0</math>. Meaning <math class="inline"> (t \le t_0)</math> does not hold true because <math>e^t > t</math>. The output will depend on exponentially larger values of <math class="inline">t</math>.

Question

The input x(t) and the output y(t) of a system are related by the equation

$ y(t)= x\left( e^{t} \right) \ $

Is the system causal? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

The system is not causal because as t increases the input gets exponentially larger into the future.

-Mayboch

Answer 2

This system is not causal because the output $ y(t) $ is dependent on future values of $ x(t) $ at t. For any $ t_0 \in \Re $, the output at $ t_0 $, $ y(t_0) $, DOES NOT depend only on the input $ x(t_0) $ at $ t_0 $ or before $ t_0 $. Meaning $ (t \le t_0) $ does not hold true because $ e^t > t $. The output will depend on exponentially larger values of $ t $.
