How do you test linearity of a system?

To determine if a system is linear, we need to answer the following question: When an input signal is applied to the system, does the output response exhibit homogeneity and additivity? If a system is both homogeneous and additive, it is a linear system.

Can piecewise systems be linear?

(5) is a piecewise linear system with a dynamical constraint on the control input u that depends on the current value of the system state m.

How do you find the linearity of a system example?

System is said to be linear if it satisfies these two conditions: Superposition - if input applied is (x1+x2), then the output obtained will be y1+y2 . (equivalently we say that if x1 and x2 are applied simultaneously then out put will be the sum of the outputs obtained individually)

How do you measure linearity in DSP?

c) y(t)=sin(x(t))

In the above system, first condition is satisfied because if we put xt = 0, the output will also be sin0 = 0. However, the second condition is not satisfied, as there is a non-linear operator which operates xt. Hence, the system is not linear.
