Invertibility

Definition: A system is invertible if and only if unique inputs yield distinct outputs. In other words, when different inputs are put into the system, then no output should be the same, they should all be unique.

Corollary: If a system is invertible, then the system will have an inverse system $ (S^(-1)) $.
