① Convergence Properties (Spectral & Basis Expansions in Dirac Bra-Ket Notation):
- Continuous-Time, Continuous-Spectrum Decomposition: $$f(t) = \int d\lambda \, |a_\lambda\rangle \langle a_\lambda | f(t)\rangle$$ Examples: Time domain ($t / \delta(t)$); Laplace Transform ($\text{LT} / e^{st}$); Fourier Transform ($\text{FT} / e^{j\omega t}$).
- Continuous-Time, Discrete-Spectrum (Periodic) Decomposition: $$f(t) = \sum_i |a_i\rangle \langle a_i | f(t + mT)\rangle$$ Examples: Time domain ($t / \delta(t)$); Fourier Series ($\text{FS} / e^{j n (\frac{2\pi}{T}) t}$); $\text{LT}, \text{FT}$.
- Discrete-Time, Continuous-Spectrum Decomposition: $$f(n) = \int d\lambda \, |a_\lambda\rangle \langle a_\lambda | f(n)\rangle$$ Examples: Discrete time ($n / \delta(n)$); $z$-Transform ($\text{ZT} / z^{n-1}$); Discrete-Time Fourier Transform ($\text{DTFT} / e^{j n \omega}$).
- Discrete-Time, Discrete-Spectrum (Periodic) Decomposition: $$f(n) = \sum_i |a_i\rangle \langle a_i | f(n + rN)\rangle$$ Examples: Discrete time ($n / \delta(n)$); Discrete Fourier Series ($\text{DFS} / e^{j (\frac{2\pi}{N}) n k}$); $\text{ZT}, \text{DTFT}$.
Orthogonality and Completeness (Parseval's Identity):
- Orthogonality: $\langle a_\lambda | a_{\lambda'} \rangle = \delta(\lambda - \lambda')$, $\quad \langle a_i | a_j \rangle = \delta_{ij}$
- Completeness: $$\int dt \, \langle f(t) | f(t) \rangle = \int d\lambda \, \langle a_\lambda | a_\lambda \rangle, \quad \int dt \, \langle f(t) | f(t) \rangle = \sum_i \langle a_i | a_i \rangle$$ $$\sum_n \langle f(n) | f(n) \rangle = \int d\lambda \, \langle a_\lambda | a_\lambda \rangle, \quad \sum_n \langle f(n) | f(n) \rangle = \sum_i \langle a_i | a_i \rangle$$
② Correlation Properties:
- Energy Signals:
- Continuous-time: $R_{12}(\tau) = \langle f_2(t - \tau) | f_1(t) \rangle = R_{21}^*(-\tau)$, with energy $E_1 = R_{11}(0)$.
- Discrete-time: $R_{12}(m) = \langle f_2(n - m) | f_1(n) \rangle = R_{21}^*(-m)$, with energy $E_1 = R_{11}(0)$.
- Power Signals:
- Continuous-time: $R_{12}(\tau) = \lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1}{T} \langle f_2(t - \tau) | f_1(t) \rangle_T = R_{21}^*(-\tau)$, with average power $P_1 = R_{11}(0)$.
- Discrete-time: $R_{12}(m) = \lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \langle f_2(n - m) | f_1(n) \rangle_N = R_{21}^*(-m)$, with average power $P_1 = R_{11}(0)$.

1. Classification of Systems
| Property | Class I | Class II |
|---|---|---|
| Parameter Distribution | Lumped: ODE / Difference Eq. | Distributed: PDE / Partial Diff. Eq. |
| Time Domain | Continuous: Differential Eq. | Discrete: Difference Eq. |
| Memory | Memoryless: Algebraic Eq. | With Memory: Differential / Difference Eq. |
| Linearity | Linear: Superposition & Homogeneity | Nonlinear: Non-superposition or Non-homogeneous |
| Time-Invariance | Time-Varying: $x(t - t_0) \not\to y(t - t_0)$ | Time-Invariant: $x(t - t_0) \to y(t - t_0)$ |
| Invertibility | Invertible: Injective & Surjective (Bijective) | Non-invertible: Non-injective or Non-surjective |
| Causality | Causal: $x(t - t_0) \to y(t)$ ($t_0 \ge 0$) | Non-causal: $x(t + t_0) \to y(t)$ ($t_0 > 0$) |
| Stability | Stable: $\text{BIBO}$ | Unstable: $\overline{\text{BIBO}}$ |
Primary Focus: Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems with deterministic inputs, lumped parameters, linearity, and time-invariance.
- Models: Input-output external models vs. state-variable internal models.
- Transform Domains:
- Continuous: $t \to s \to \Omega \to \Omega_0$ (Time $\to$ Laplace $\to$ Continuous Fourier $\to$ Fourier Series)
- Discrete: $n \to z \to \omega \to \omega_0$ (Discrete Time $\to$ $z$-Transform $\to$ DTFT $\to$ DFS/DFT)
