Memoryless System

A system is memoryless if for any $ t \in \mathbb{R} $ the output at $ t_0 \, $ depends only on the input at $ t_0 \, $

In other words it doesn't depend on past or future events or information.

System With Memory

A system has memory it's output at any given time depends somehow on either a past and/or future event or piece of information.

Causal System

A system is causal if it's output at any time doesn't depend on a future event/piece of information. In other words it's output at any given time only depends on past or present events/information.

Non-causal System

Any system thats output at any given time depends on a future event or piece of information isn't a causal system.


Linear System

A system is linear if it upholds both additivity and multiplicity.

In mathematical terms the following must be satisfied:


$ y[a+b]=y[a]+y[b] \, $



$ y[ka]=ky[a] \, $
