Time Invariance
A system is called time invariance if and only if:
$ x(t) --> [system] --> [time delay] --> y(t)\, $
yields the same result as
$ x(t) --> [time delay] --> [system] --> y(t) \, $
Remember: delay --> for only every function of t, change the t into t with the offset
Example of a time invariance system
$ y(t) = x(t) \, $
$ x(t) --> [system] --> x(t) --> [timedelay] --> x(t-1) \, $
it yields the same result as:
$ x(t) --> [timedelay] --> x(t-1) --> [system] --> x(t-1) \, $
Example of a non time invariance system
$ y(t) = t * x(t) \, $
$ x(t) --> [system] --> t * x(t) --> [timedelay] --> t * x(t-1) \, $
it yields the same result as:
$ x(t) --> [timedelay] --> x(t-1) --> [system] --> x(t-1) \, $
