Let's begin by exploring static systems. Can anyone tell me what a static system means?
Is it a system that doesn't change?
Good attempt! A static system, also called memoryless, means the output at any time depends only on the input at that same moment. It shows no dependence on prior inputs.
Can you give an example?
Certainly! A simple example is an ideal resistor where the voltage is directly proportional to the current at that instant. If I describe this as y(t) = f(x(t)), it reinforces the idea of instantaneously determining output!
So, there's no storing of information in static systems?
Exactly! You can think of them as systems that operate purely in the present without recall. Remember, static = immediate!
Got it, static means it doesnβt remember anything.
Great summary! To wrap up, static systems produce outputs instantly based on current inputs alone.

Now, letβs shift our focus to dynamic systems. What do you think characterizes a dynamic system?
Does it also react to inputs?
Yes, but dynamic systems differ significantly. They depend on previous inputs, meaning they have memory. For instance, if I take the integral of previous input signals, I can describe the output as y(t) = β« from -β to t of x(Ο) dΟ.
Could that example model something in the real world?
Absolutely! Take a capacitor in an electrical circuit; its voltage depends on the charge that has accumulated over time. This is a quintessential dynamic system!
So, dynamic systems can βrememberβ past inputs?
Correct! This is what allows them to exhibit different behaviors based on their history, which makes their analysis a bit more complex.
I see, it's all about the memory aspect!
Exactly! Remember: dynamic = historical influence. Great insights today!

Let's compare what we learned. Can someone summarize the key differences between static and dynamic systems?
Static systems depend just on the current input?
And dynamic systems remember past inputs?
Exactly! Static systems donβt hold memory, while dynamic systems rely on their histories.
Are there any mathematical implications of this difference?
Yes indeed! Analyzing static systems is often simpler as outputs are calculated directly from inputs. Dynamic ones require knowing prior values, adding complexity to calculations.
So, implications for system design?
Yes! Static systems can be straightforward in design, while dynamic systems may need feedback mechanisms to account for past inputs. Thatβs a crucial concept in system engineering.
To summarize, static is immediate, dynamic is historical.
Perfect! Youβve captured the essence of this session brilliantly.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
Static systems produce outputs that depend only on current input, with no stored past information. Dynamic systems, conversely, rely on past or future inputs or their own previous outputs, necessitating storage elements that 'remember' prior signals.
Detailed
Static vs. Dynamic Systems
This section elucidates the critical distinction between static and dynamic systems, focusing on how their memory characteristics dictate their output behaviors.
Static (Memoryless) Systems
- Definition: Static systems are those where the output at any moment depends solely on the input at that same moment. They do not retain any information from prior inputs or outputs.
- Example: A simple example is an ideal resistor, described by the function y(t) = f(x(t)), where y is the output and x is the input, with the relationship being instantaneous.
- Key Characteristics: These systems are straightforward to analyze since the output can be evaluated directly from the input.
Dynamic (With Memory) Systems
- Definition: Dynamic systems, in contrast, have outputs that depend on previous inputs, ensuing outputs, or both. They often contain elements that store energy, such as capacitors or inductors.
- Examples: An integrator system where the output is a cumulative output over time, e.g., y(t) = Integral from -β to t of x(Ο) dΟ. The capacitor in a circuit will operate as a dynamic system, with the voltage across it being dependent on the charge accumulated over time.
- Key Characteristics: The presence of 'memory' allows these systems to exhibit behavior that is inherently dependent on the signal's history, complicating their analysis relative to static systems.

Static (Memoryless) System:
- Definition: A system is static (or memoryless) if its output at any given time depends only on the input at that exact same time. It does not store or "remember" any past input or output values.
- Mathematical Condition: The output y(t) (or y[n]) is a direct function of the current input x(t) (or x[n]), e.g., y(t) = f(x(t)).
- Examples:
- y(t) = 2*x(t) (An ideal resistor where voltage and current are instantaneously related).
- y[n] = x^2[n]
- y(t) = sin(x(t))
Detailed Explanation
A static or memoryless system directly relates the output to the input at the same moment in time. This means it doesn't hold onto past inputs; it operates exclusively based on what is currently happening. For example, if you input a voltage into an ideal resistor, the output current is determined solely by that instantaneous voltage. The resistor does not account for any voltage changes that occurred before.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a light switch. When you flip the switch up, the light turns on instantly. The light does not remember if it was on or off before; it simply responds to the current action of flipping the switch. This is akin to how a static system operates.
Dynamic (With Memory) System

Dynamic (With Memory) System:
- Definition: A system is dynamic (or with memory) if its output at any given time depends on past or future values of the input, or on past values of the output itself. Such systems contain energy storage elements (capacitors, inductors, springs) or delay/advance elements.
- Key Idea: The system needs to "remember" past inputs to determine its current output.
- Examples:
- y(t) = Integral from -infinity to t of x(tau) d(tau) (An integrator; output depends on entire past history).
- y[n] = x[n] + x[n-1] (Output depends on current and previous input, requires a memory element to store x[n-1]).
- A capacitor (its voltage depends on the accumulated charge, which comes from past current).
- A mechanical system with mass (its acceleration depends on force, but its position depends on past accelerations).
Detailed Explanation
Dynamic systems are distinguished by their need to refer to past inputs or outputs to define their current behavior. These systems store energy, which influences the output based on a history of input actions. For instance, an integrator continuously sums past inputs over time, which means its output at any moment reflects not just what is occurring right now but also everything that's happened before.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a bathtub filling with water through a faucet. The height of the water in the bathtub at any moment depends not only on the current flow rate but also on how long the water has been running. If you've been filling it for a while, the tub will have accumulated a lot of water β showcasing the 'memory' aspect of the water level based on past input.
