y ( t ) = i ( t ) R . Substituting the value of i ( t ) =
y ( t ) / R into Eq. (3.3) yields

which is a linear, second-order, constant-coefficient, differential equation mod-
eling the relationship between the input voltage x ( t ) and the output voltage y ( t )
measured across resistor R .
A more compact representation for Eq. (3.1) is obtained by denoting the differ-
entiation operator d / d t by D:
D n y + a n 1 D n 1 y ++ a 1 D y + a 0 y ( t )
= b m D m y + b m 1 D m 1 y ++ b 1 D y + b 0 x ( t ) .
By treating D as a differential operator, we obtain
( D n + a n 1 D n 1 ++ a 1 D + a 0 )

P(D)
or
Q(D) y ( t ) = P(Q) x ( t ) ,
(3.9)
where Q(D) is the n th-order differential operator, P(D) is the m th-order differen-
tial operator, and the a i and b i are constants. Equation (3.9) is used extensively
to describe an LTIC system.
To compute the output of an LTIC system for a given input, we must solve the
constant-coefficient differential equation, Eq. (3.9). If the reader has little or no
background in differential equations, it will be helpful to read through Appendix
C before continuing. Appendix C reviews the direct method for solving linear,
constant-coefficient differential equations and can be used as a quick look-up
of the theory of differential equations. In the material that follows, it is assumed
that the reader has adequate background in solving linear, constant-coefficient
differential equations.
From the theory of differential equations, we know that output y ( t ) for
Eq. (3.9) can be expressed as a sum of two components:
y ( t ) =
y z i ( t )
zero - input response
+
y z s ( t )
zero - state response
,
(3.10)
where y zi ( t )isthe zero-input response of the system and y zs ( t )isthe zero-
state response of the system. Note that the zero-input component y zi ( t )isthe
response produced by the system because of the initial conditions (and not due
to any external input), and hence y zi ( t ) is also known as the natural response
