  • Abstract
    WHAT is the maximum amplitude that can be obtained in a linear time-invariant transmission or control system subjected to inputs with limited amplitude? This question is important in many physical problems. Suppose b is the bound on the magnitude of the input amplitude and h0 is the smallest number such that the response h(t) satisfies |h(t)| ≤ h0. Then the maximum response ratio r is defined by r = h0/b. With this terminology, the question becomes: What is the value of r?
