It is possible to check a system for linearity in a single (though larger) step. To do this,
simply combine the first two steps to get
H {k1f1 (t) + k2f2 (t)} = k2H [f1 (t)] + k2H [f2 (t)]
D. Time-Invariant and Time-Varying Systems:
A system is called time-invariant if a time shift (delay or advance) in the input signal
causes the same time shift in the output signal. Thus, for a continuous-time system,
the system is time-invariant if ST [f (t)] = f (t -T) for all T,
HST = STH
Any system that does not have this property is said to be time varying.

cascaded systems).
F. Stable Systems:
A system is bounded-input/bounded-output (BIBO) stable if for any bounded input x
defined by
G. Feedback Systems:
A special class of systems of great importance consists of systems having feedback.
In a feedback system, the output signal is fed back and added to the input to the
system:
