A continuous time lti system is bibo stable if its impulse response is absolutely integrable. It is easy to see from the convolution integral that if ht 0 for t system is causal an lti system is called memoryless if the output signal value at any time t depends only on the input signal value at that same time. Thus, if we let ht, 0 ht, then the response of an lti system to any input xt is given by the convolution integral. This is in the form of a convolution integral, which will be the subject of.

Linear time invariant systems the response of a continuous time lti system can be computed by convolution of the impulse response of the system with the input signal, using convolution integral rather than a sum. Because for lti systems, knowledge of the impulse response equals knowledge of the system.
In much the same way as for discretetime systems, the response of a continuous time lti system can be. The convolution integral, discrete time lti systems. Consider a linear time invariant system \h\ with impulse response \h\ operating on some space of infinite length continuous time signals. The laplace transform of a system s impulse respose. The output u p of a continuous time linear time invariant lti system is related to its input t pand the system impulse response. The response due to an impulse, together with the linearity and time invariance of the system, gives the output as an integral. In mathematics in particular, functional analysis, convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions f and g that produces a third function. Lti systems and convolution specific objectives for today. Recall that the output \hxt\ of the system for a given input \xt\ is given by the continuous time convolution of the impulse response with the input. An lti system is called memoryless if the output signal value at any time t depends only on the input signal value at that same time. Equivalently, any lti system can be characterized in the frequencydomain by the systems transfer function, which is the laplacetransform of the systems impulse response or ztransform in the case of discrete time systems. The fundamental result in lti system theory is that any lti system can be characterized entirely by a single function called the systems impulse response.
Starting from fundamentals, deduce the equation for the response of an lti system, if the input sequence xn and the impulse response are given.
