Definition
A system is a linear system if (i) the output produced by first summing any two inputs and then putting the result through the system is identical to the output produced by first putting both signals through the system separately and then summing the results and (ii) the output produced by first multiplying an input signal by a constant and then putting the result through the system is identical to the output produced by first putting the original signal through the system and then multiplying the result by the constant.
Example 1: Linear System
Example 2: Non-Linear System
$ x(t) = \exp{x(t)} $
