Simple Example
To demonstrate how to determine if a system is time-invariant then consider the two systems:
- System A:
- System B:
Since system A explicitly depends on t outside of and, it is not time-invariant. System B, however, does not depend explicitly on t so it is time-invariant.

Famous quotes containing the word simple:
“I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
—Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
“The problem is that we attempt to solve the simplest questions cleverly, thereby rendering them unusually complex. One should seek the simple solution.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
