Transfer (System) and Weight Functions, Green's Formula

OCW Scholar

« Previous | Next »

Session Overview

This session ties together convolution, Laplace transform, unit impulse response and Green's formula. They all meet in the notion of a transfer function (also known as a system function). We will define the transfer function and explore its uses in understanding systems and in combining simple systems to form more complex ones.
