Abstract

Attention is focused on continuous-space shift-invariant systems with continuous system maps and inputs and outputs that are elements of L∞(Rd). It is shown that infinite superposition can fail in this important setting. It is also shown that continuous shift-invariant linear mappings need not commute with the operation of integration (even when the two composite operations are well defined).
