Some useful formulae

Some useful formulae for linear systems
If h(t, ) is the impulse response of a linear system, then for any input x(t); < t <
Z
y(t) =
h(t, )x()d

If the system is causal then h(t, ) = h(t, )U (t ).

If the system is time-invariant then h(t, ) = h(t ).
The I/O relationship for linear, time-invariant and causal systems subject to causal inputs
x(t) with x(t) = 0, t < 0 is given by:
Z t
Z t
h()x(t )d; t 0
h(t )x()d =
y(t) =
0

Leibnizs Rule for Differentiation of an Integral

Assume that f (t, ) is differentiable w.r.t the first variable and a(t) and b(t) are differentiable
functions. Then:
