Question about timevarient& invarient.

  • Thread starter angel23
  • Start date
In summary, the discussion revolved around the concept of time-invariant systems and how to determine whether a function is time variant or time invariant. The participant shared their approach of checking for parameters containing the variable t and concluded that the function is time invariant. However, another participant suggested using the definition and provided a condition to determine if a function is time invariant. Upon application, it was found that the given function Y(t)=X(2t) is time varying.

why is Y(t)=X(2t) time varient ??

AS you know Angel the rule here by the mentors are that we have to show that we tried doing it. So please show what is your approach and after that by the rule of this forum I can help you.

i looked at my function and found no parameters containing the variable t so i said it is a time invarient system..
am i right or wrong?
is there any other way i can use to check whether my function is time varient or time invarient?

FOR TIME INVARIANT SYSTEM

[ tex ] x_1(t)------>y_1(t) [ \tex ]
[ tex ] x_2(t)= x_1(t-T) [\tex] ---keep this equation same
[tex] x_2(t)------>y_2(t) [\tex]
[tex] y_2(t)=y_1(t-T) [\tex]

If all these conditions are true for that function then YES its TIME INVARIANT else its TIME VARYING. So if you put Y(t)=X(2t) here and you will see that eqn (3) is not equal to eqn(4). So its TIME VARYING.
 

FAQ: Question about timevarient& invarient.

What is the difference between time-variant and time-invariant systems?

Time-variant systems are those that change over time, meaning that their output depends on the current input as well as previous inputs. On the other hand, time-invariant systems have outputs that do not change over time and are only dependent on the current input.

What are some examples of time-variant and time-invariant systems?

Examples of time-variant systems include weather patterns, stock market trends, and biological processes. Time-invariant systems include simple mathematical equations, such as y = mx + b, and physical laws, like Newton's laws of motion.

How can we determine if a system is time-variant or time-invariant?

We can determine if a system is time-variant by observing its output over time. If the output changes for the same input at different times, then the system is time-variant. If the output remains the same regardless of the time the input is applied, then the system is time-invariant.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of time-variant and time-invariant systems?

The advantage of time-variant systems is that they can adapt and respond to changes in the environment. However, this also means that they can be unpredictable and difficult to control. Time-invariant systems, on the other hand, are more stable and predictable, but they may not be able to adapt to changing conditions.

How do time-variant and time-invariant systems affect scientific research and experimentation?

Understanding the properties of time-variant and time-invariant systems is crucial in scientific research and experimentation. It allows scientists to design experiments and make predictions based on whether the system they are studying is time-variant or time-invariant. This knowledge also helps in choosing the appropriate mathematical models and tools for analyzing and interpreting data.
