HW 4

This document outlines exercises for a homework assignment on properties of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. The exercises cover topics such as: properties of convolution for both continuous-time and discrete-time LTI systems; determining the interval over which a convolution is non-zero; proving properties like commutativity and distributivity for discrete-time convolution; determining whether systems are causal and/or stable; solving differential equations to find impulse responses; computing system responses to complex exponential inputs; and using properties of LTI systems to compute outputs for various inputs. There are 8 main exercises involving proofs, computations, and determining properties of LTI systems.
